Your content.
With a digital layer.

Traditional AR anchors rely on a recognizable physical object or a static reference image. AvocadoScan encodes the anchor directly into the edge of an image or video, so the experience can travel with the media.

Keep the media at the center of the experience.

AR Codes embed a content anchor in the frame itself. They connect existing print or video media with a digital destination, without requiring a separate static reference image for each interaction.

A supported scanner detects the marker in a captured frame and decodes its linked action. Your application can use that action to open a website or a digital experience.
