Giving brands a new way to interact with consumers, mobile developer Niantic launched its Rewarded AR ad format, which will allow mobile users to earn in-application rewards by interacting with advertisements in augmented reality.
Powered by Niantic’s 8th Wall development platform, these Rewarded AR ads are now available in Niantic’s real-world games, including Pokemon Go. They allow players to interact with a short augmented reality experience in order to receive in-game rewards. For instance, as part of a promotion for Pokemon Go’s Pokemon Go Fest t-shirt (which players can purchase), Pokemon Go players can tap a floating balloon on the game’s map screen to place a reward box in front of them in augmented reality.
