Beagle - AR/VR Content Studio

Let me show you one of our favorite projects. In this game, users can feel what it's like to be a drone pilot. This drone collects oil samples in difficult-to-assess places and brings them to a drilling rig. It represents how modern companies are looking for oil.
There are two settings in the game: taiga and swamp. Each set consists of several parts that automatically stand one after the other creating a path for the game. And the icon with the user's face is a part of the gameplay: it shows how much energy the drone has. It makes the effect look neat.

One of our projects - is a "Midnight Sun" effect for a cocktail party. Finland was a theme, and the bar's team wanted us to create an effect to help people make content. And here is a result.

Spoiler: it went well, and the venue gained more UGC than any other party.

➡ 79% of consumers are interested in using AR to interact with a product before buying.

➡ 4/5 brands who already use AR ads say it provides opportunities for deep and meaningful engagement.

➡ 75% of brands agree AR makes sure products or events are accessible to all.

➡ 4/5 brands who use AR say it helps to drive sales, acquire new customers, and drive performance metrics.

Dodo pizza wanted to start a campaign that can reach and engage gamers - it's 40% of their regular customers. Cyberpunk 2077 was about to release, and the brand decided to collaborate. They created a pizza flavor, "Pizza of the future," and a limited Cyberpunk delivery box. Box had a QR code linked to an AR effect that allowed customers to participate in the contest and win many prizes.

The campaign included bloggers and paid social ads. All that led to 1.8k Story mentions per day for several weeks. Half of the planned pizzas were sold in 5 days, and Dodo got out of stock in 2 weeks for this product.

We are happy to reveal one of our last projects: its two effects celebrating the NBA 2022 Finals. As always, we are thankful for the Meta trust and belief in our team.

We created effects with much content inside: the jersey 3D model was too good and heavy, so we did much optimization.

Also, a parallax ("Who Ya Got?") creates a depth illusion and adds a sense of immersion to the experience.

From now on, creators and brands can tag AR effects with locations!

As part of the publishing process, you have the option to tag your effect with locations or location categories.

Tagging your effect with locations can help it be discovered by users who are viewing the area on the Instagram map. Anyone in the world viewing the areas on the map where your effects have been published will be able to see and access the effect.

Great news!

Spark AR Hub updated the insides with criteria that many creators and marketers were waiting for. "Average time open." lets the marketer measure the engagement and see how long users were immersed with the brand.

It'll be calculated by taking the sum of seconds an effect has been opened, divided by the number of successful opens.

Creators will be able to filter this metric:
* By Effect
* By Time Period
* By Experience
* By Platform
