How to launch AR video overlays in weeks, not months
AR video overlays play a screen-aligned video that scales with a scanned marker — perfect for bringing a poster, pack, or page to life on scan.
Before you start
You do not need Unity, 3D specialists, or a native app to launch AR video overlays. 15–30 seconds performs best — long enough to land the message, short enough to finish.
Step by step
- Pick a short, vertical-friendly video
- Train the marker artwork
- Attach the video overlay
- Print with a clear scan prompt
Common pitfalls to avoid
Reuse what you have: Most brands already own video; AR gives it a new, scannable home on physical media.
Your launch checklist
- One clear scan prompt
- A tested overlay in real lighting
- Analytics tagged by campaign
- A follow-up call to action
