Augmented Reality (AR) Posters and Boards

What Is Augmented Reality (AR)?

Augmented Reality, or AR for short, is a technology that blends the physical and digital worlds. It works by adding digital elements—such as animations, videos, sounds, or 3D graphics—onto real-life objects when viewed through a phone, tablet, or AR headset. Instead of replacing your surroundings like virtual reality does, AR enhances what you see around you by layering interactive content on top.

With AR, the experience becomes more dynamic and engaging. Whether it’s a poster that plays a video when scanned or a sign board that displays a 3D animation, AR makes it possible to turn everyday printed materials into something extraordinary.

How Do AR Posters and Boards Work?

AR posters and boards look like traditional printed displays at first glance, but they’re designed to come to life when viewed through a mobile device. Each design includes a special marker—this could be a QR code, an image, or a visual trigger—that the AR app recognises. Once scanned, digital content appears seamlessly on top of the print, aligned perfectly with the artwork.

For example, an AR event poster might display a video trailer when scanned, or an educational board might show interactive 3D content to help explain a topic. These experiences are easy to access and create a lasting impression by adding movement, sound, and interactivity to flat artwork.

AR-enhanced print is a powerful tool for marketing, storytelling, education, and more—bringing a modern twist to traditional displays and capturing attention like never before.
