The World’s First Specialist Augmented Reality App StoreAugmented reality is all around us – from our mobiles to television adverts. By 2017 it is estimated that the AR market will be worth an astonishing £5.2 billion, so it makes absolute sense to have a specialist site to make it easier to buy them.Currently the AR apps are hidden in the millions of apps on the current congested platforms making it much harder to get them to market.With everyone from football clubs to newspapers and even global cosmetics brands promoting their products using augmented reality the market is wide open for expansion.The AR App Store is working on exclusive deals with leading app developers producing next generation apps in the following fields: education, modelling, militaria, architecture, football, technology, anatomy and food. Once the UK site has been tested and established it will be rolled out to Europe, the US and worldwide.Founder Karl Adams who has spent the last 18 months developing this project says “Augmented Reality is not just a concept it is a practical “virtual reality” that will become a way of the future and a reality right now. It allows the user to have apps on their tablets and smart phones enabling them to conduct pleasure and business interactions with products, in a new interactive and totally engaging way”.

Avoiding unnecessary product packaging by offering zero-waste and technological alternative. CupClub uses RFID to keep track of how packaging is being handle in the supply chain and then developing an optimised method to reduce wastage whilst increasing efficiency. Their technology can also provide consumer behaviour data by tracking retail sales and location information. These statistics can offer businesses greater insights into customer trading patterns.
Two versions of CupClub will exist; one designed for food service restaurants and cafés and another designed for retail and office environments. Their revenue model consists of a small standard rate that is charged per drink, which is then multiplied by the average number of sales per day. A tiered level of contracts ranging from £50 to over £1m are offered. Integrating the CupClub technology also carries its own set-up costs and a further fee applies to third-parties that wish to gain access to analytics collected by CupClub.
