QR-code AR uses a simple printed QR to open an augmented-reality experience instantly — the lowest-friction on-ramp to AR for any audience.

Before you start

You do not need Unity, 3D specialists, or a native app to launch QR code AR. “Scan to see it in AR” next to the code lifts scan rates significantly.

Step by step

  • Generate the experience and its QR
  • Place the QR with a clear prompt
  • Drive scans across touchpoints
  • Track by code and location

Common pitfalls to avoid

Everyone knows QR: After years of menus and check-ins, QR is a universally understood gesture — the perfect AR on-ramp.

Your launch checklist

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