The partnership with Trivver extends Niantic 8th Wall’s recent efforts to define and implement a new set of Augmented Reality (AR) measurement standards just as the AR category is set for tremendous growth. Both Trivver and Niantic 8^th Wall worked closely with Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and Media Rating Council (MRC) to answer the growing need for the industry to establish greater consistency in defining and measuring AR advertising, including AR ad delivery, engagement, and performance. The guidelines will bring standardized measurement to all AR focused campaigns, and help brands and agencies maximize their outcomes.

Trivver’s multi-patented technology converts any 3D file into a 3D Smart Object that can be deployed in immersive Niantic 8^th Wall projects, games, advertisements and virtual environments, changing the way developers and advertisers can monitor user activities in spatial computing scenarios and immersive environments. These 3D Smart Objects contain metadata and allow for visibility and attention metrics to be captured in real-time, allowing advertisers with previously unobtainable insights as to how users interact with these objects in 3D space. For Niantic 8^th Wall Developers, this data can be used to drive in-game personalization, monetized advertising opportunities and AI-generated scenarios. Trivver 3D Smart Objects also include an auto-scale feature, allowing for a single 3D smart object to be placed in any Niantic 8^th Wall environment without the historical requirement to recreate the objects for each placement.

The partnership provides advertisers with a unique opportunity to connect with their audiences in a more interactive and engaging manner by allowing any 3D/AR advertisement or digital environment to send back valuable user data. Trivver’s analytics dashboard reports specific 3D object attention metrics and user session statistics. The company’s measurement criteria align with the new IAB/MRC AR guidelines, ensuring compliance with data privacy and invalid traffic requirements.
