Case Study
Colorado Rockies AR
Objective
In collaboration with August Allen AR, the Colorado Rockies aimed to revolutionize fan engagement by introducing an Augmented Reality (AR) experience featuring their beloved mascot. The goal was to create an immersive, interactive environment within a WebAR platform that would heighten excitement and deepen connections during games. Specifically, fans would be able to test their skills in real-time pitching and batting challenges against the mascot—testing their precision, timing, and competitive spirit.
Solution
August Allen AR leveraged cutting-edge WebAR technology to bring the Colorado Rockies mascot to life directly in fans’ mobile browsers—no app download required. Within the experience, users encounter the mascot roaming through a virtual stadium or ballpark. They can then engage in friendly head-to-head competitions: testing pitching accuracy or swinging for the fences in batting challenges. Real-time feedback helps fans refine their technique and track personal bests, turning casual interaction into playful, skill-based entertainment.
Results
The Colorado Rockies AR experience, powered by August Allen AR, has successfully redefined in-stadium and at-home fan engagement. Fans have embraced the opportunity to interact with the team’s mascot in real time through immersive, playful challenges that blend sports and technology.
Since launch, the experience has gained widespread popularity, with thousands of fans actively participating in pitching and batting challenges. Its intuitive interface and captivating AR interactions have made it a standout feature of the Rockies’ digital game-day experience—proving that innovation and fandom go hand in hand.
