Turned out nice again... We love being outside, not only because that's where we have our best ideas, but because that's where most people see our clients' brands from. And because we prefer to look at things that way, our clients can talk about what they do in ever more engaging ways. Like mum always said: go and play outside.

Exo's think newsletter header.

With the World Cup upon us we thought we would completely avoid anything to do with it in our newsletter. Instead, we focus on Augmented Reality as we've just completed a project for the launch of a new biscuit range for Cadburys. Plus, if you thought paper was over, think again my friends, the office of the future will be full of it, only this time it will be on walls. And can someone please tell us if the latest project from MIT below is real or fake, internet debate is lively yet inconclusive. Come on you Paraguians! Sorry, couldn't help it.

Augemented reality and the future

Our Augmented Reality project for Burton's biscuits (watch it below) was super-exciting but left us thinking about the magnificent opportunities this technology presents to brands and consumers.

Wolf Olins recently mentioned on their website the top ten things that they think will impact brands in 2010 (http://www.wolffolins.com/tenfor2010/). The first thing on their list was, yes you've guessed it, - Augmented Reality (AR). Can you imagine an enhanced reality that could give you a rough guide super imposed over the city you are visiting as you wander around the sites or maybe to help you train to be a pilot or even to perform surgery?

Brands are starting to get involved with AR. The majority of car brands now have websites where you can see you chosen car brought to life in the colour and model you like - BMW are even using AR to train their service engineers. Swiss watch manufacturer, Tissot, recently launched their advertising campaign which included AR codes as paper watch straps so consumers could try on their watch range from the comfort of their home computer. Ray-Ban has launched a similar experience allowing you to try on their range of sunglasses. This is a sure sign that online retail is taking consumers to an entirely new level of consumer engagement. Which we love.

AR watches

AR iPhone apps have really taken off with our favourites being 'Car Finder'. Never have problems finding your car in the car park again. Just set your location and a marker appears above your car, the distance it is away from you and which direction to head to get to it.

Our other favourite is iPew. Shoot people with a laser gun - sometimes the simplest things can give so much pleasure! Recommended for long meetings, boring commutes and those delightful visits to the in-laws.

Cadburys Augmented reality
This month we were lucky enough to work on our first AR piece for Cadburys.

Real or fake?
There’s a debate going on in the studio about whether this video is true to it’s word or created using computer generated graphics (CGI). Either way it’s pretty damn clever and a great reminder of how today’s technology is incredibly advanced.
Arts and crafts
If you thought paper was boring, think again! The latest craze is to take a plain sheet of paper and turn it into something interesting. See more here.
Paper art
Lego printer
In my Lego days as a youngster, it would never have crossed my mind to build a printer… but now I can think of nothing more cool!
