ShowUP AC&D is the app that uses image recognition technology to restore human depth to the traditional paper business card. In fact, the traditional business card reduces the complexity of a professional identity to a title and its contact details. ShowuUP AC&D transforms a business card into a dynamic fragment of identity: by framing the photo on the card through the app, it will come to life and the subject of the picture will tell about himself firsthand.
