BAM! Augmented Media

Read full description

BAM! Augmented Media lets you explore augmented reality experiences anchored to everyday objects marked with a BAM! QR code. Replay past experiences anytime, and unlock new ones when you scan additional codes. Our first featured experience is Prize Cannon — a mech that bursts out of a business card and launches prizes in AR. You can try it instantly by scanning a BAM! QR code with your phone to launch the Prize Cannon App Clip, or by scanning a code directly in the full BAM! app. Virtual codes are also available on the developer’s website for those without a physical card.
