What do we do?

Page 8: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

Our primary user experience is the space

Page 9: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

We want to connect them to the space

Page 10: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

By helping them connect with others

Page 11: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

And connect with the ideas

Page 12: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

User has be able to:•grasp a new experience instantly•use in a new context•use with very little help•always there when you need it but never gets in the way•First and one time only moment

Magical moments aren’t a nice to have,they are a must have.

The digital context

Page 13: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

Our users want the physical space augmented

Our users to consume content about stuff

Our users want help them create their own special experience of

the space

Our users need help to locate where they are

Page 14: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

Our users don’t really know digital could help them do that

Our users have quite a nice time without digital

Page 15: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

Our users have a low drive to use mobile

Page 16: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

But we know when we get digital right here, it means…

Page 17: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

More memories, more learning

Page 18: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

More likely to come back

Page 19: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

More likely to connect with the organisation

Page 20: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

More likely to share the experience

Page 21: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

More likely to spend

Page 22: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

More companies are wanting to differentiate their physical offer from the digital offer

Page 23: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

But use of digital augmentation is becoming more prevalent

EXPERIENCE PRINCIPLE #1:Deliver Challenge +

Surprise

Page 29: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

You can’t challenge or surprise anyone if you don’t empathise with

them.

INSIGHT #1:

Page 30: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

interact with the experience

Same for digital and physical

RESEARCH:

1.Empty nesters2.Know the county3.Want to experience the beautiful views4.Outdoor types5.Passing interest in Cultural Heritage6.Don’t understand how tourism offers relate to their needs7.Very little signal

Example: Cultural Heritage in Wales

Not enough to want a Cultural

Heritage experience

Page 34: Augmenting the Real with Digital - Creating Magical Moments

Frankly, Green + Webb

ACTION:1.Address Motivation - have a unique experience and appreciate the beauty of the county2.Create a Challenge – help them try something simple that they are interested in doing3.Deliver Surprise – help them discover how the history impacts on both

Example: Cultural Heritage in Wales

Example: Telling stories with tablets Research for Museum of London

“…the saxon roundhouse where we sat and watched the videos and then thought

about what made our house a home and what differnces the

were between ours and theirs”

We are looking to answer these questions too:

1.As visitors with their own digital augmentation how do we help them create magical moments?

2.How do you time the augmentation and scale it to different users needs?

3.How are we/you going to work with physical designers to create a service that is both physical and digital
