AR Video: Play Videos Over Augmented Reality QR Codes
AR Code Tech | 05/06/2025 |
Augmented Reality is an innovative technology that integrates digital content into the physical world. Currently, AR is primarily accessed via smartphones. However, with the advent of augmented reality glasses in 2023, its scope has significantly broadened.
AR devices are known for overlaying 3D models, games, or animations onto the real environment, but they can also present traditional media content like text, images, and videos in augmented reality.
Augmented Reality Videos: Transforming Engagement
In 2024, the most popular applications of Augmented Reality were games and social media filters. With the growing interest in the Metaverse following Mark Zuckerberg's announcement of Facebook Meta's AR strategy, individuals and businesses have increasingly focused on leveraging Augmented Reality technologies.
Nowadays, more businesses and individuals appreciate the potential of displaying 2D content with AR. The perception has evolved from seeing video on phone screens as sufficient, to understanding the value of AR Videos as essential for augmented reality glasses.
Benefits of AR Videos on smartphones include:
- Providing a fun and unique way to view videos.
- Being ideal for advertising, as viewers are more likely to re-watch AR videos.
- Enabling effortless sharing through a simple code.
- With AR Code, videos can anchor to specific surfaces like product packaging or screens, allowing users to interact with the content.
AR Videos: No App Required for a Seamless Experience
Utilizing our low-powered SLAM technology, you can access AR videos on any smartphone or tablet without the need for an app.
Videos appear as floating elements in your environment, allowing you to scale and move them with your fingers on the touchscreen.
The AR Code cloud handles video streams, optimizing for .mp4 and .mov formats. When you upload video files, they're analyzed, compressed, and converted to optimal size and resolution for augmented reality.
Meta Quest 3 and AR Code Revolutionize AR Videos
The Meta Quest 3 and AR Code technology have transformed AR video content, delivering impressive immersive experiences. While direct QR Code scanning is anticipated, AR Code ensures future compatibility with AR headsets from Apple, Google, Samsung, and Meta, including their Quest Pro and 3 models.
AR Videos on the Meta Quest 3 offer unmatched interactivity, making advertising, storytelling, and presentations engaging and memorable.
