Bublar Group Subsidiary Vobling and Havas Worldwide Have Joined Forces With Air France in Creating a First of its Kind Augmented Reality (AR) Based Event Experience

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Air France is engaging event participants with the new mobile application, "Air France AR world", letting them discover a new digital and interactive layer to their physical worlds. The app digitally displays a map of the world and visualizes key destinations with AR-technology. The experience is interactive, informative, engaging and users can also participate in an integrated quiz with the chance to win long haul flights.

The experience has been implemented at events in Gothenburg, Oslo and in Bergen. More events will take place during Spring 2019. Thanks to this app and events, Air France advances its ability to promote key destinations as well as newly launched - highlighting attractions and things to do that otherwise could be missed out by travelers.

"We really wanted to showcase our broad portfolio of destinations and inspirational examples of what they have to offer our customers. AR combined with events are the optimal tools for us making this possible", says Maria Hagelberg, Marketing Manager Air France and KLM North Europe.

"Air France AR world" has been developed by the global agency network Havas Worldwide's subsidiary Bizkit Havas in cooperation with Vobling, an industry leading AR & VR agency and the enterprise arm of the Bublar Group (publ).

The "Air France AR world" app is available both via the App Store and Google Play. The application is based on a combination of image target and VIO-based technology.
