Laissez les QR codes reposer en paix !

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:46:00 GMT

Il ne se passe pas une semaine sans qu’on voit passer une campagne utilisant les QR code. A l’image du concept proposé par un étudiant de la Miami School pour Victoria Secret, les campagnes sont souvent malines…

… à une exception près : Personne n’utilise les QR codes. Ou plutôt devrais-je nuancer mes propos. Une fois que vous avez enlevé les tickets éléctroniques, personne n’utilise les QR codes. Donc non les gens ne s’arrêtent pas sur le bas côté du périphérique pour scanner un QR code, non les gens ne poursuivent pas les bus pour scanner les affiches, non les gens ne s’arrêtent pas à une station de métro pour scanner un 4×3 Pour se faire une raison, les QR Code n’apparaissent jamais dans les études d’usage mobile. La dernière que j’ai en date, le baromètre de suivi des mobiles IPSOS AFMM 2009 s’arrêtait à la notoriété de ces derniers (si vous avez des études d’usage sur les QR code en France, n’hésitez pas à me contredire dans les commentaires). Ce n’est pas un hasard si R/GA, l’agence qui a crée Nike+, se permet de twitter ceci alors qu’ils viennent de lancer une campagne Mastercard dans New York qui utilise les QR codes (cf: Le Japon est le seul pays avec un usage des QR codes réél) :

Pour autant, avec le taux d’équipement de smartphone qui dépasse les 30%, une couverture du réseau 3G tout à fait décente sur le territoire, nous sommes dans des bonnes conditions pour enfin pouvoir utiliser le smartphone comme pont entre le monde physique et numérique. Un problème technologique ? Non un problème de contexte On pourrait facilement faire le procès de la technologie, dire que celle du QR code est dépassée. Pour autant, aujourd’hui alors que la technologie de la reconnaissance d’images commence à être tout à fait viable (testez Google Goggles, U-Snap de JCDecaux, ou la très prometteuse technologie des parisiens de chez Moodstocks), nous n’assistons pas pour autant à des armées de personnes scannant des affiches dans la rue. Une des réponses est peut-être à aller chercher du côté d’une étude publiée récemment chez Comscore où on apprend que 14 millions d’Américains (6,2% des propriétaires de mobile pour la perspective) ont scanné un QR Code. On est encore au niveau des early adopteurs mais plus que l’étude démographique qui dresse le portrait d’un scanneur geek (homme, 18-34 ans, revenu du foyer de $100 000+), c’est bien le contexte de ces scan qui est intéressant : Seul 12,6% des QR codes ont été scanné à l’extérieur ou dans les transports en commun. Afin d’expliquer cet échec de contexte, j’aime bien utiliser l’expérience faîtes par le Washington Post qui a consisté à faire jouer Joshua Bell, violoniste de talent, dans le métro de D.C. et de démontrer que presque personnes n’y ferait attention. Click here to view the embedded video. De cet exemple (totalement emprunté à nos voisins de chez Nekid), il faut se poser la question du contexte : Quand est-ce que le service amené par les QR Code (l’information complémentaire, le coupon, ou le goodies) se révèle pertinant ? Là encore pas de surprise chez Comscore, les moments où les QR code sont le plus scannés sont “à la maison dans un magazine ou journal” ou “dans un magasin sur un packaging”. Pour autant, il y a quelques mois, dans une discussion avec un directeur marketing d’une grande entreprise d’éléctroménager, il m’informa que le nombre de QR codes scannés par produit se limitait à l’échelle de la centaine sur l’Europe ! Un problème de contexte ? Un problème d’ambition ! Le QR code est un vestige d’une passé limité. Aujourd’hui où les applications mobiles sont reines, il est temps d’utiliser les technologies actuelles (reconnaissance d’image), dans un ecosystème connu (l’application proposée par la marque) pour offrir une vrai valeur ajoutée (indice: télécharger le spot TV en scannant un 4×3 n’est pas un service de valeur ajoutée) dans un contexte naturel (catalogues, magazines, magasins). Alors laissez le pauvre QR code reposer en paix après 15 ans de bon et loyaux services, et inventons les services de demain.

Augmented Reality: Just take a look around you...

Mon, 28 Mar 2011 11:04:32 GMT

This is a guest post by Telco 2.0 associate, Christine Perey, Spime Wrangler, PEREY Research & Consulting. Christine will be presenting an introductory session to Augmented Reality (AR) at our Mobile Apps 2.0 session in Palo Alto on April 6th. She will also be facilitating a longer AR session at our London Mobile Apps 2.0 event on May 12th where AR business models and strategies will be explored in detail.

Tom is standing on the curb in front of the Neiman Marcus that's located in Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto holding his iPhone4. He's just bought a beautiful carafe as a wedding present for his cousin and he wants to ship it to her. He knows that there's a post office nearby so he is searching for it using Google maps.

He finds that the nearest Post Office is well within walking distance so leaves his car in the parking lot. Tom begins walking toward his destination when he detects an alert from his device. There's a Palo Alto History layer that is proposing to show him some historical landmarks he'll pass on his way to the Post Office.

He holds up his device using the "reality" view as he follows the sidewalk. On the right he learns that the parking lot is on land that was once Leland Stanford's vineyards. On the screen the parking lot is hidden from view with photos from the historical society, showing people working the vineyards. A small icon over the right hand corner of a photo shows that there is a coupon for 10% discount on locally produced wine in a nearby retail store. Maybe that would make a nice addition to the package he's shipping to the newlyweds?

Turning his device 90 degrees to the left he learns that the Stanford shopping center was once the home to the very first Victoria's Secret store, opened by Roy Raymond in 1977, and the first mini Apple Retail Store [1.]. Tom stops and repositions his phone to waist level to flip through some of the items in the Victoria Secret on-line catalog and, he accepts the invitation to download the new Victoria Secrets virtual mirror AR application to his iPhone. Maybe he will surprise his finance by asking her to virtually model some of the latest products tonight.

In the last 5 minutes Tom's appreciation of his immediate surroundings has deepened and in the next 5 minutes his wallet will probably be lighter as a result of his having had Augmented Reality services on his iPhone. The seamlessness with which information about the present, the past and, possibly the future, are integrated with the real world reduced Tom's distraction (if he had to change applications or search for unique items) and increased the opportunities available to retailers to offer Tom complementary purchases.

Augmented Reality technology in smartphones is emerging as a convenient way to blend existing digital information within the physical world surrounding us. The opportunities to genuinely improve quality of life for subscribers extend far beyond games and commercial information. AR will be used to help people combine their physical world with finding that for which they are searching, discovering what they didn't know they were missing and performing routine or unusual tasks more efficiently than with digital or paper aids. While the opportunities are limitless, the barriers are not insignificant.

Is the technology ready for prime time? The correct answer is that it depends. There are hundreds of use cases for AR. Today's devices and networks are perfect for some imprecise yet still helpful or imaginative uses such as learning what it was like to live or work in an area we are standing in front of or passing through. Ready for AR-assisted surgery? In some settings this is being done but it's not using the same sensors we have in our pockets in our cell phones.

Even when sensors are good enough and data is available, one of the barriers we are facing to AR adoption is simply making users aware that there is an augmentation they might want to see or hear in their vicinity. Content is not evenly distributed over the world. Indoor vs. outdoor content remains a challenge. AR providers are exploring different symbols and strategies for helping users discover new experiences in their real world and we can learn some lessons from the successes and failures of QR codes.

For providers of popular digital data there are ample "anchors" or triggers in the real world with which to bring up new experiences. The question that has yet to be solved for content providers is how to publish with AR once and reach their greatest audiences? The answer to this challenge lies in having support for AR viewing in many applications, and making sure that these existing or new applications "talk" using a common and flexile language to the cloud-based data sets. Once again, one of the important keys to technological and commercial success lies in open APIs and I'm confident that these will emerge in the near future.

When AR is open and interoperable, this ecosystem will flourish and everyone will benefit. To help the attendees of the Mobile Apps 2.0 event witness some of the diversity possible with mobile AR, I've helped to organize a special mobile AR showcase featuring leading AR platforms. Hope to see you there!
