WebAR COVERAGE MAP
No app? No problem. Enter WebAR! T-Mobile sought out Gravity Jack’s services to create a one-of-a-kind WebAR experience to be featured in T-Mobile stores throughout the country. Since there is no need to download an app, T-Mobile customers simply scan a marker within the store to prompt custom Augmented Reality content. Once scanned with the phone’s camera app, users are taken to a web page that places a dynamic 3D T-Mobile coverage map directly in the store!

The experience features a series of animations that include 3D bars that pop out of the map to showcase T-Mobile’s superior 5G coverage versus that of their competitors. Additional AR content includes text call-outs that highlight T-Mobile’s highspeed capacity and download rates. Customers are then encouraged to swipe through the experience where the app automatically detects their location to provide a regional AR map of T-Mobile’s coverage in their area of the country. The development and delivery of the WebAR experience provided T-Mobile with a unique way to skip the app store and bring educational AR content directly to their customers.
