Advantages of AR Menu

AR Business Card allows you to implement absolutely awesome user experience:

Augmented Reality allows amplifying surrounding reality with virtual objects, using just a smartphone or tablet.

Use Case of AR Business Card

AR for Business Cards can help you in a meeting with a potential client for an unusual presentation of a service or product. This technology clearly and interestingly presents your information. Present your modern company with advanced interactive features.

Using simple game mechanics, it’s possible to tell to any person about the company, product or service interactively in awesome way with AR.

You can use images on corporate T-shirts as AR Marks (or AR Markers), thereby the app “understands” that around the logo of a company virtual objects must be placed in a plane of a human chest.

The main thing about AR Business Card is that everything happens in real-time and clients instantly see the information.
