Argus Presentations
Argus Insights Discusses with RCR Wireless Editor Martha Degrass on whether Apple or Samsung will fill the most stockings over Holiday 2013. By examining a mix of social media, consumer demand metrics and retail promotions, Argus Insights CEO, John Feland walks through what is driving consumer demand over the holidays.
Samsung made a huge push for the eye tracking enabled technologies for the Galaxy SIV in their advertising. Our analysis of consumer adoption shows how many Galaxy SIV customers love or hated these features and why. We also pull examples of vision tracking from gaming consoles and examine consumer attitude about privacy and security in the face of recent gaffs by Facebook and the NSA with a call to action for OEM’s to drive adoption by first getting the experience right and second getting the balance of privacy and security in alignment.
Along the way we sprinkle in bits of Design Thinking from Stanford, Japan’s Quality Movement and a new framework from CEO John Feland, so you get your veggies along with dessert.
The results might surprise you!
