Leo AR Partners With NOS to Bring 5G and Augmented Reality to Portugal

AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NOS, the largest communications and entertainment group in Portugal, today announced a new exclusive partnership with Leo AR, one of the leading consumer facing AR apps today. Together, NOS and Leo AR will showcase the capabilities of 5G in Portugal via Leo AR as part of NOS’s official 5G leading strategy in the country.

As part of the partnership, NOS will deliver this solution directly to its customers to enable them to have the opportunity to fully experience the library of thousands of 3D objects within Leo AR. Leo AR has optimal performance with the latest 5G technology, improving the overall experience of creating new worlds instantly around us. 5G is an important part of not only user experience, but allows for better and faster communication in a time when humans need it most (during the pandemic).

“Bringing creative imagination to real life through AR videos is just one example of the new and innovative entertainment experiences that 5G will allow. For this reason, this valuable partnership with Leo AR reinforces NOS’ ambition to demonstrate to its customers the many possibilities of this pioneering technology in Portugal,” said Daniel Beato, Executive Board Member of NOS.

After downloading the app, users point towards the floor and tap one of the objects (or several objects) in the categories. Then fans can tap the record button, and continue to add filters, stickers, music, change the speed or other fun features to supercharge their videos. Top videos will be considered for the discovery page within Leo AR, with outstanding videos getting featured to inspire new users.

“We’re excited to be paving the way in consumer AR and partnering with NOS Communications to power our app Leo AR. 5G allows users to not only create new worlds around them instantly, but provides an overall seamless experience from start to finish,” said Dana Loberg, founder and CEO of Leo AR.

Leo AR in conjunction with NOS brings a new wave of innovation, combining 5G and consumer AR at an important time. As we continue to rely heavily on technology to stay connected, NOS and Leo AR help to bridge the gap of bringing creativity and storytelling to life in fun new ways in Augmented Reality.
