Hey there Medium! I a fellow learner since what feels like a lifetime of reading articles have finally decided to write one myself. This is a first on a journey of what will be a blog series summarising various research papers I’ll be reading to finish my own research paper on Social Media Marketing with Augmented Reality.

The ironic thing about research papers is that they’re written to explain the world a new original effort which must’ve started with joyous enthusiasm about whatever field one is working in yet it is written in a format so boring and exhaustive that no one I know can understand an entire paper (usually just 15–20 pages) in one seating.

However the works presented in these papers are indeed incredibly interesting and worth losing your mind for but instead of writing them in an easy way authors put in extra effort to make sure its difficult to comprehend using ancient words, oh so many citations and repetition and definitions of basic things. Over the course of my secondary research I almost gave up. Its just too many words and sentences to comprehend in one go. But I didn’t. But I am drained so I decided to make this blog series about the relevant details in my favourite research papers.

The blog will not review the research papers, Its just a comprehensive summary written in an informal format with relevant details and link to the original paper. Like I’ve previously mentioned I’m writing a research paper as well and would love volunteers who are interested in trying of new AR filters and give and their views on the same so if you’re up for that kindly fill in the google form linked below. Like I mentioned My research paper deals with Marketing, Social Media and AR and so the chosen papers in this series with be around the same topic follow along if you’re interested in the same.

Goal is to make research papers easier to understand and fun to read. See you soon. Next article will be on We ARe at home: How augmented reality reshapes mobile marketing and consumer-brand relationships by Joachim Scholza, Katherine Duffyb
