The S96 app transforms every Studio 96 Publishing coffee table book from a static object into an interactive, hyperlinked, and digitized platform with endless creative, marketing and community-building applications. By scanning an image or page in a Studio 96 book using the S96 app, users can be led to a webpage or AR experience. Examples include online product pages, social media profiles, or other hosts of exclusive content. Images can also trigger Augmented Reality animations, such as videos or imagery, that augments onto the book object itself.
