NexTech Adds to its IP Portfolio Filing A Non-Provisional Patent Application for Augmented Reality in a Retail Environment

New York, New York and Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 26, 2019) - NexTech AR Solutions (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29) (the "Company" or "NexTech") is pleased to announce that it has filed with the USTPO a comprehensive non-provisional patent application titled "METHODS AND DEVICES FOR AN AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCE." NexTech's application covers proprietary approaches to displaying products in an augmented reality environment in a manner which using AR and AI enhances customer experiences in a retail environment from cannabis dispensaries to coffee shops.

"With this non-provisional patent application we are continuing to build for our shareholders a valuable portfolio of patents around augmented reality in retail," comments Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech. "Retail is a $30 trillion global industry which is ripe for disruption using AR-enhanced 3D viewing of products and digital humans."

The application covers apparatuses and devices which may be employed in coffee shops or cannabis dispensaries to provide engaging advertising which, using 3D AR technology, are intended to promote, indicate, and or extol the features and advantages of any product or service being offered for sale.

A unique feature covered by the filed application includes utilizing personalized avatars or "digital humans" in AR space which may be used in dispensaries to provide an engaging educational experience for a customer. Specifically, a unique avatar or "digital human" may be generated for each individual customer who visits a retail space, creating a one-of-a-kind personal shopping experience consumers crave. The proprietary system using both AR and AI monitors customer behavior and customer interaction and modifies the avatar to provide information in an engaging way to the customer. For example, based on a customer's interest in a particular cannabis strain, the avatar may be modified to illustrate a likely effect on the user by way of showing the impact.

NexTech is continuing to test and build out its AR and AI eCommerce offerings, which include using AI to create a guided and knowledgeable curator who knows an individual shopper's style, sizes, and preferences, as well as AR holograms acting as personal shopping assistants.
