The document discusses software tools that can help differentiate apps, such as augmented reality, computer vision, and location-aware apps. It describes Qualcomm's Snapdragon SDK which provides APIs for advanced features like facial processing, touchless gestures, and surround sound recording. The SDK helps developers create enriched experiences and gain extended functionality through libraries for camera, audio, sensors and location. Qualcomm provides tools like Vuforia for augmented reality and AllJoyn for seamless connectivity between devices to help developers build differentiated apps.
2. Trend Towards “Differentiating” Experience
More Proximal communications and multi-screen experiences
Augmented Reality becomes the norm
Contextually aware apps
More real-time, complex computer vision apps
Navigation and location aware services move indoor
Home theater like audio experiences
Richer Gaming

Make snapdragon exclusive offer pop.Move non-snapdragon differentiated apps to the end.
The Snapdragon system offers best in class technologies and integrates them to work together into a single, complete chipset which is helping drive innovationBringing all best individual technologies into a single product enables us to deliver better performance because the parts are designed to work together as a systemThe best user experience happen on SnapdragonQCOM’s benchmarks are top notch (best feeds and speeds don’t always translate to the best ux or sell the devices anymore) but QCOM is doing much more than just HW
Thisdemonstrates everything that goes into the snapdragon systemAnd it is building these best in class technologies and integrating them to work together into a single, complete chipset which is helping Snapdragon drive innovation for our partnersBringing all best individual technologies into a single product enables us to deliver better performance because the parts are designed to work together as a systemDelivers better user experiences
These numbers adjusted to reflect QRD
Beyond HW, Qualcomm also delivers SW and ecosystem supportThis is one of the enablers and drivers or our scaleSW and HW are important together to deliver the BEST user experiences on different platformsWe are only Si vendor to supply both to this levelit’s all about the user experience. Why do we build all that custom hardware? Why do we optimize so much of the OS to all that hardware? Why do we spend so much time and money investing in new SW enablers and contributing to open source via QUIC, and why do we then go out and find developers to showcase all this jazz? Simple answer: to enable the best mobile consumer experiences. We want to give our OEMs and the developers who create value added apps and services the building blocks and tools for creating truly extraordinary user experiences. Leveraging the hardware & SW development tools we provide, developers can create applications that are highly appealing to end users and set them apart from the competition. We want our OEMs to make the best, coolest, slickest, fastest, most powerful phones, tablets and other devices. We want them to be differentiated. All our efforts culminates here. This is where success is measured, in my opinion.The best P2P experiences run on SnapdragonThe best AR experiences run on Snapdragon.The most intelligent and network aware social apps run on SnapdragonThe Ability to build differentiated user experiences – That’s what I think about day in and day out…
QCOM software unleashes these next gen mobile user experiences which allow us to be more efficient, more creative, more… in our daily lives
Show High-Level Architecture to represent that Orange section (Developer APIs) are shipping out via QDevNet, and that the Framework APIs are what connect the SDK APIs to the low-level features in our Android platform.Qualcomm brings a number of optimizations and new feature enhancements to Android. Some optimizations are intrinsic and come “for free” to applications and devices. In other cases, we’ve added value in areas such as the camera, audio, sensors, and location. We’ve put in a lot of our expertise to make the hardware that we provide run better.What Qualcomm has done is added in our own Snapdragon API layer that third-party developers can take advantage of when the device is capable.
Advertising & media is the fastest growing category:Point of advertising = creating added value to an existing print campaign (magazine covers/ads, posters, newspaper ads, leaflets, etc) using AR. Previously advertisers relied purely on circulation or distribution figures. AR allows the advertiser to actually measure interaction w/ its campaign. Some AR apps have also included functionality whereby users can add in their contact details to get more info from the brand; some have added links to their website.Point of sale = bringing a product on the shelf to life. The product or product packaging now has an added layer of engagement using AR, thereby creating additional consumer valuePoint of use = creating AR experiences around products you have purchased and brought home. AR gives the consumer a reason to engage with the product on a regular basis.Vuforia adoption is exploding. Publishers are seeing value w/ AR appsStarbucks Cup Magic spurred 450,000 “engagement points” within 1 month of launch with no promotion. (An engagement point refers to a use of the app). 91% of people who downloaded the app used it.1Moosejaw X-Ray drove up sales by 37% in November. Furthermore, the company’s website saw a 4% increase in traffic as a direct result from the popularity of the app. In the first five weeks of its existence, Moosejaw’s app was downloaded more than 75,000 times. 2Blippar, an “AR agency”, says it has seen hundreds of thousands of consumer downloads of their app in the first 7 months since its debut in the UK.3AR is gaining momentum“According to Visiongain, in 2012, 25% of mobile apps will feature augmented reality.” 4 “About 6 million AR apps were downloaded in 2010, according to ABI Research… the number (was) projected to increase to 19 million downloads in 2011 and balloon to nearly a billion by 2016. The firm forecasts the mobile AR industry will see $3 billion in global revenue by 2016, up from $87 million (in 2011) and $21 million in 2010.” 5“Consumer engagement is the main reason that (augmented reality) technology has been so successful. QR codes have proven to be effective engagement tools, which has lead many retailers, such as Macy’s, to incorporate them into their marketing campaigns. AR, however, provides a much more immersive experience that QR codes may not be able to cope with.” 5Sources1http://mashable.com/2011/12/05/starbucks-26-million-mobile-transactions-in-2011/2 http://www.qrcodepress.com/moosejaw-announces-the-results-of-their-augmented-reality-marketing-campaign-shows-that-the-technology-may-be-the-key-to-future-success/855516/ 3http://www.wirelessduniya.com/2012/01/07/innovative-startup-blippar-mobile-augmented-reality-technology/4http://www.marketingmag.com.au/blogs/making-fantasy-into-augmented-reality-9739/5http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2012/01/ces-2012-hps-autonomy-shows-possibilities-of-augmented-reality.html6http://www.qrcodepress.com/qr-codes-may-collapse-beneath-the-weight-of-augmented-reality/855721/
