What is Augmented Reality for Business Cards?

Augmented Reality (AR) business cards are physical cards that, when scanned with a smartphone running an AR app like cxocARd, display a digital overlay — typically a video — on top of the physical surface. This technology bridges the gap between print and digital media, making networking more memorable and impactful.

Unlike traditional QR codes that redirect to a website, AR experiences are rendered in real-time directly on the physical object — creating a truly magical interaction. cxocARd uses cloud image recognition capable of identifying 100,000+ target images with 98% accuracy and sub-0.1 second response times.

The key advantage of cxocARd over competitor platforms is simplicity: no 3D modeling is required. A standard YouTube or Vimeo video is all you need to create a compelling AR experience — making it accessible to any business, from solo photographers to large corporations.
