Print Mixed Reality

Your print, alive.

Scan a QR on a newspaper ad, a carton or a standee and the page starts moving. Video, 3D product, a game, a booking flow. No app download. Full analytics on every scan. Print finally gets a click-through rate.

In one line

Print mixed reality (also called print AR) is a scan-to-experience layer for physical print. A customer scans a QR on a newspaper ad, carton, brochure or hoarding with their phone camera and the print plays video, shows a 3D product, opens a game or a booking flow, with no app to install. Every scan is tracked.

Typical timeline: A print mixed-reality campaign goes live in 2 to 4 weeks, including the 3D or video content.

FAQ

Questions we get asked.

What is print mixed reality?

A way to make physical print interactive. A QR on the print opens a web experience that overlays video, 3D or a game on the customer's phone screen, tied to that piece of print. No app download.

Do customers need to install an app?

No. It runs in the phone's browser through WebAR. Any smartphone camera that reads a QR works.

What print formats does it work on?

Newspaper and magazine ads, brochures, packaging, hoardings, standees, business cards, in-store banners and digital OOH screens.

What can the print turn into?

A product video, a 3D model you can rotate, a game with rewards, a real-estate walkthrough with floor plans, or a lead or booking form. Most campaigns combine two of these.

What analytics do we get?

Scans, unique users, dwell time, location, device and conversions such as leads or coupon redemptions, per creative and per placement.

How long does it take to launch?

Two to four weeks, including producing the video or 3D content. If you already have the assets, faster.

Does it work with existing print that is already distributed?

Yes, as long as there is a QR or a recognisable image on it. We can also target an existing image without a QR using image tracking.
