Have you ever wondered how satellites in space help us communicate across vast distances? Groove Jones answered that question while partnering with our client, the National 4-H Council, to create an engaging web augmented reality (AR) experience that features an interactive HughesNet satellite, which hovers over the earth. The AR experience highlights the satellite’s featured pop-ups that allow users to learn more about HughesNet satellites and how they help provide internet on earth.

Groove Jones designed and developed an interactive AR Camera Filter for playback via a mobile OS web browser to explore the fundamentals of how satellite internet communication works. When entering the experience, users are prompted to a home screen where a voiceover briefly explains the purpose of the AR experience: “How Does Satellite Internet Work?” Where then, the user can launch the experience. Before the launch, a screen will appear providing user-friendly instructions on navigating the experience with their fingers.
