Unexpected AR

Museums that surprise - and teach!

Wandering around the CaseIH Experience Center recently, I was surprised to find an Augmented Reality (AR) experience designed to help customers understand farm operations and equipment technology.

Point the iPad at different locations on the giant screen and learn about software applications for agri-business.

Of course, the experience included tractors produced over the years and a Case car.

Tractor displays featured the expected product specifications, smartly joined with product and brand positioning assets.

The company is a leading supplier of agricultural and construction equipment. Competitor John Deere offers product and museum venues in Moline, IL and Waterloo, IA. Explore those locations in amuz: iPhone Android
