AR product launches create a scannable reveal moment — 3D teardown, hero video, or interactive demo — that turns announcement into hands-on experience.

Before you start

You do not need Unity, 3D specialists, or a native app to launch AR product launches. The same overlay can live on packaging, posters, social, and the press kit.

Step by step

  • Define the single reveal you want remembered
  • Build the 3D or video overlay
  • Place targets across launch touchpoints
  • Launch, then iterate from analytics

Common pitfalls to avoid

Show, don’t tell: A launch is the one moment customers lean in. AR lets them hold the product virtually instead of reading about it.

Your launch checklist

  • One clear scan prompt
  • A tested overlay in real lighting
  • Analytics tagged by campaign
  • A follow-up call to action
