Transforming Business Cards into Interactive AR Experiences
Introduction
In response to our client’s need for an innovative and captivating way to market their company, we developed an Augmented Reality (AR) application focused on transforming traditional business cards into interactive experiences. This case study delves into the details of our AR project, highlighting its features, implementation, and the positive impact on our client’s marketing strategy.
Project Overview
We aimed to create an engaging AR experience triggered by scanning business/visiting cards using a mobile device. The core concept involved a robotic avatar dynamically presenting the company's services through interactive animations and 3D content.
AR Application Flow
Scanning Process
Users scan the business card using the mobile device camera, triggering the AR application.
The application recognizes the target image on the card, initiating the AR content display.
Robotic Avatar Interaction
A robotic avatar is loaded onto the card, capturing the user’s attention.
The avatar throws balls, each symbolizing a distinct service provided by the company.
Service Presentation
Four key services are presented :
- Mobile Application Development
- Website Application Development
- VR and AR Solutions
- Training
Clicking on a service label activates a designed board near the robot, displaying a detailed description.
Voice-over and Animation
The robotic avatar explains the selected service through voice-over and animations.
This multimedia approach enhances user understanding and engagement.
'More Details' Feature
A ‘More Details’ button on the board opens the device’s browser, redirecting users to the corresponding service portfolio of the company.
This seamless transition allows users to explore comprehensive information about the selected service.
