SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, July 4, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- San Francisco – July 4, 2018 – AT&T’s very popular “Dream in Black” themed booth at the BET Experience in Los Angeles, June 22 – 23, will return to the ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans, July 5-8. The exhibit features Augmented Reality (AR) effects to enhance the visually stunning live experience. In addition to serving up celebrity meet-and-greets, musical guests and prize giveaways, the AT&T exhibits will also feature virtual fairies fluttering around and welcoming visitors, plus opportunities to take selfies wearing a floral crown or on an AR enhanced throne.

The magical AR effects were built by Paracosma Inc, which was recently recognized as one of the “20 Most Promising AR/VR Tech Solution Providers - 2018” by CIO Review Magazine. Built on Facebook’s advanced AR Studio platform, the AR effects are available as Camera Effects for anyone with the Facebook app installed on their smartphone.

“It was a great pleasure to work with The 360 Agency and AT&T to create these AR effects,” says Ken Ehrhart, Founder and CEO of Paracosma. “It is rare to find such a great team that encompasses both bold creativity and strong professionalism.”
