Formation of augmented-reality interactive technology's persuasive effects from the perspective of experiential value

Abstract

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which presence, media richness, and narrative experiences yield the highest experiential value in augmented-reality interactive technology (ARIT). Design/methodology/approach -A survey is performed to collect data. Valid questionnaires of 344 ARIT users are identified. The hypothesized associations are analyzed using structure equation modeling. Findings -Empirical results indicate that narrative experience induces a higher experiential value than other simulative experiences, including presence and media richness. Practical implications -Results of this study provide a valuable reference for managers attempting to design an ARIT process in order to optimize the experiential value in various online simulation environments.Originality/value -This study adopts an integrated framework that incorporates narrative theory, media richness theory, and presence in the online ARIT. Exactly how narrative experience, media richness, and presence affect the formation of experiential value in the ARIT process is explored as well.

An old model for a new age: Consumer decision making in participatory digital culture

“…In the years that followed publication of the EKB model, some authors have questioned the utility of this theory and it has been subject to numerous revisions, reviews and extensions (Bruner & Pomazal, 1988;Darley et al, 2010;Grewal, Roggeveen & Runyan, 2013;Howard, 1977;Howard & Sheth, 1969;Jacoby, 2002;Mowen, 1988;Olshavsky & Granbois, 1979). For instance, Olshavsky and Granbois (1979) explored the notion that a substantial proportion of our purchases do not actually involve making any decisions at all.…”

“…For instance, Olshavsky and Granbois (1979) explored the notion that a substantial proportion of our purchases do not actually involve making any decisions at all. Jacoby (2002) deemed the EKB model to be too marketer dominated and argued that it lacked a broader recognition of sociocultural factors that impact upon consumer behaviour. Despite these criticisms, the EKB model is still firmly embedded as a cornerstone of consumer decision making and is not likely to be jettisoned anytime soon.…”

‘It’s an illusion, but it looks real!’ Consumer affective, cognitive and behavioural responses to augmented reality applications

“…The presence of this technology has been increasing in the field of marketing in recent years and has introduced a new way of visualising products, information and experiences in the real-life context (Huang & Hsu Liu, 2014;Huang & Liao, 2015). The first commercial use of AR is generally accepted to be an application for the automobile brand Mini in 2008 which allowed a 3-D simulation of the car model to appear on a screen when a paper with markers was placed in front of a camera .…”

Augmented Reality Technology: Application Fields and Communicative Aspects

“…Tai reiškia, kad informaciją apie objektus galima pateikti vizualiai patraukliai, derinant skirtingas turinio formas, kanalus (vaizdo, garso, paveikslėliai, tekstas ir pan. ), dizainą, o tai galima laikyti pridėtine verte, norint vykdyti efektyvius komunikacinius procesus (Huang, Hsu Liu 2014). T. Oleksy ir A. Wnuk teigia, kad PR technologija kuria kitokį objekto suvokimo modelį -aplinka ir objektai yra suvokiami ne tik fiziškai su jais sąveikaujant, bet ir virtualiai.…”

“…Taip atsiranda savotiš-kas virtualus, bet kartu fizinis prisilietimas ir įsitraukimas (Oleksy, Wnuk 2015). Tokios estetinės, vizualinės PR savybės prideda PR objektams žaismingumo, jie gali būti laikomi labiau pramoginiais (Huang, Hsu Liu 2014). Toks žaismin-gumas, interaktyvumas ir informacijos vizualumas gali būti naudingas norint paaiškinti sudėtingus procesus, sudominti, išmokyti, todėl PR vis dažniau naudojama edukacijoje (Yoon et al 2012) bei kultūros institucijose, tokiose kaip muziejai (Berryman 2012, Yoon et al 2012Cianciarulo 2015), ar turizmo objektuose Oleksy, Wnuk 2015).…”
