Magic Mirror - animate photos with augmented reality. When you point camera at the photo, it becomes alive. Magic Mirror enables you to add AR content to photo markers and showcase your work via the app. First, you must upload an image marker to the platform and then upload a video to show when the image is scanned with the Magic Mirror app. You can create your own AR project either by using the official platform's website or with the assistance of any of our partners.
