Article Guide
What it means
Students often understand faster when they can see a concept in action. AR makes static learning materials more visual, interactive, and engaging.
How it works
Teachers can upload a page, diagram, card, or poster as the target image. Then they attach a video explanation and generate a QR code. Students scan the QR and point the camera at the image to view the video overlay.
Why it matters
WebAR avoids the need for app installation. Students can use a normal mobile browser, which is useful for schools, coaching centres, training institutes, workshops, and STEM learning environments.
Use cases
Marketing and promotions
Use AR QR codes on posters, brochures, product cards, and campaign material to show videos and brand stories.
Education and training
Attach explanation videos to textbook pages, flashcards, certificates, posters, and classroom material.
Packaging and retail
Turn product labels and packaging into interactive product communication channels using browser-based AR.
Events and business cards
Add personal videos, invitation messages, company introductions, or portfolio content to printed materials.
Examples
A school can attach a video lesson to a printed science diagram. A brand can attach a product demo to packaging. A real estate team can attach a property walkthrough to a brochure. A professional can attach an introduction video to a business card.
In each case, the viewer scans a QR code, opens the browser camera, points at the target image, and watches the linked video appear as an AR overlay.
ScanStory workflow
Upload photo and video
Select the image users will scan and upload the video that should appear as the AR overlay.
Generate AR QR code
ScanStory creates a QR code that opens the browser-based AR scanner for that project.
Share or print
Use the QR code on cards, posters, packaging, invitations, brochures, or learning material.
Scan and view AR
The viewer scans the QR code, points the camera at the target image, and watches the video overlay.
