Best HP Reveal Alternative in 2021 | Beaconstac

HP Reveal, an extended reality platform by HP effectively is shutting down its services and products – the Augmented Reality Studio and Link Brand Protection after 2 years of being in business. 

This has left a lot of customers looking for the best possible alternative to HP Reveal. 

We’re happy to announce that Beaconstac is stepping in with an end-to-end solution to replace HP Reveal. 

The Augmented Reality Studio

Beaconstac offers a comprehensive QR Code solution that can be used to deliver an AR experience. 

When a QR Code is scanned, it can deliver a custom AR experience.  

Here are 2 ways you can use our QR Code solution: 

Using markers: Instead of the logo in the QR Code, upload a marker that triggers an AR experience. Here’s a guide as to how you can create your own marker.

Using filters on social media: You can also create AR experiences using filters on Instagram or Snapchat.

Levi’s and Snapchat celebrated Pride Month in 2019  by sharing a QR Code that allowed shoppers to virtually try on a trucker jacket. Users could also order it through the app and share a photo or video of it on Snapchat.

Where can you use AR QR Codes?

1. Retail: From consumer engagement to cross-selling, AR QR Codes are quite ubiquitous. IKEA’s Place app allows users to place furniture in their space before they make an actual purchase. Puma’s flagship store makes use of QR Codes that allows customers to take selfies with their mascot. This entire experience is powered by Augmented Reality. 
2. Education: One of the biggest proponents of QR Codes are teachers and students in the classroom. Students can bring their projects to life and teachers can disseminate information visually in 3D. 
3. Real Estate: Imagine being able to sell to potential buyers even when you’re not physically present! With a QR Code embedded on a smart sign, buyers can view the house in 3D and take a virtual tour. 

Link Brand Protection

Protect & Track

Beaconstac’s QR Code Solution for enterprises allows you to have a custom domain as well as a custom URL that serves a dual purpose: 

1. It deters any unauthorized access to the QR Code and prevents any malicious attempts to dupe customers. 
2. It is a clear indicator to consumers that the product that they have purchased is genuine. Our customers in the CBD industry use our solution to provide their consumers with a CoA or Certificate of Authentication to ensure that counterfeits are not sold. 

Robust analytics is the backbone of our QR Code Solution. Along with general data around the number of scans by location, time and date, you can also integrate Google Analytics to get deeper insights into how your product is being distributed. 

Seamless integration

Our QR Codes work anywhere – online or offline. You can also download the QR Code in one of your preferred formats – PDF, JPG, PNG, EPS or SVG. 

Also given how versatile QR Codes are, you can put it to use for just about anything. Here are some of the top QR Code use cases for marketing. 

Our QR Codes can also be scanned via the native camera app and a multitude of apps like Paytm, Amazon, and Snapchat. 

Customer engagement

The same QR Code designed to protect your brand can be leveraged to engage customers. 

1. Acquire new customers: Deliver coupons and offers in stores to drive purchases. We have an in-built Coupon QR Code and a Landing Page Creator that allows you to create landing pages in less than 5 minutes. 
2. Retain loyal customers: Gather crucial feedback using the QR Code via our in-built forms and send personalized emails. You can also drive loyalty programs with QR Codes making it easy for customers to sign up instead of the usual wait at the checkout line. 
3. Track analytics: Leverage our analytics to understand which type of campaign works the best and dig into Google Analytics to devise targeted campaigns that you can set up in real-time.
