Augmented Reality for Media & Publishing

Give every printed page a digital dimension — without reprinting a single sheet

ARGO partners with publishers and media brands to add interactive digital layers to physical print — AR books that bring stories to life, video QR stickers that let readers send personal messages, and interactive print campaigns that track reader engagement. Trusted by Pika Edition and Larivière.

Use cases

AR books & educational content

Embed 3D models, animations, and videos into printed books — readers scan to see dinosaurs walk off the page, historical events unfold, or scientific concepts visualized in 3D.

Video sticker greetings

STQR turns any printed greeting card, postcard, or book dedication page into a personal video message — readers scan to watch, record, and share.

Interactive print campaigns

Add AR layers to magazine ads, inserts, and advertorial pages — readers scan to watch video content, access offers, and engage far beyond what print alone allows.

Reader engagement analytics

Know which pages, articles, and inserts readers actually engage with — real-time scan data and video analytics for every print run.

FAQ

Common questions

Do readers need an app to experience AR in a book or magazine? +

No. ARGO uses WebAR — readers scan a QR code printed in the publication and the experience launches in their browser. Works on any modern smartphone, no download required.

Can the same QR code deliver different AR content in different print runs or editions? +

Yes. ARGO's platform lets you manage multiple experiences and variants under the same QR code infrastructure — ideal for limited editions, regional variants, or updated printings.

How do Video Stickers work for greeting cards and books? +

STQR embeds a QR code into any printed surface. Readers scan to watch a default video — from the author, publisher, or brand sponsor. They can also record their own personalised video message to pass along with the book or card.

What analytics do publishers get from AR-enhanced print? +

Page-level scan rates, video engagement duration, geographic distribution of scans, device breakdown, and daily active users — all in a real-time dashboard without any reader data collection.
