AR Scene Types

Image AR

Definition of Image AR

"Image AR" refers to scanning flat 2D images in the real world, such as magazine covers, photos, product packaging, and creative materials. With precise image recognition and tracking, it enables real time display of 3D virtual content and interactive effects directly on the scanned image. This transforms static visuals into vivid and immersive experiences, and is widely used in brand engagement, offline marketing, and creative showcases.

Basic AR/Gyroscope

Definition of Basic AR/Gyroscope

"Basic AR" refers to cloud-based image recognition and matching. By scanning a 2D image, AR content can be placed on the screen (without tracking the target image). This type of AR scene supports recognition of up to 100,000 images and can easily identify real-world visual content such as movie posters and storefront signage. It is widely used in scenarios including brand marketing, in-store interaction, event exhibitions, and educational outreach.

"Gyroscope" refers to the use of a mobile device’s gyroscope sensor to enable scene content and interactions. Compared to Basic AR, it provides more dimensional and spatially immersive interactive experiences.

  • Prepare the target image and scene assets

A Basic AR scene allows you to upload multiple target images. For example, for storefront signage, you can upload photos from different angles to enable multi-angle recognition.

All uploaded target images should have rich details and strong color contrast, while avoiding issues such as glare and color distortion. Click here to view the Basic AR target image guidelines; for other scene asset specifications, refer to the relevant sections in the user documentation.

Plane AR

Definition of Plane AR

"Plane AR" refers to an AR tracking method that uses any real-world surface as a reference. It supports detecting horizontal (such as floors, tabletops) and placing virtual digital content relative to those surfaces. It is widely used in scenarios such as furniture placement, retail display, mall visual merchandising, cultural tourism guides, and interactive installations.

Plane AR combines virtual AR content with the real environment to deliver an immersive, mixed-reality interactive experience.

It also introduces a new approach to product visualization: consumers can preview and try products before purchase, intuitively understanding product features and real-world placement. By leveraging spatial product displays, engaging interactions, and immersive experiences, it helps users fully perceive the product and supports more efficient purchase decision-making.

Plane AR Digital Marketing Use Cases

  • POP MART AR Character Placement

Combining blind box IP with AR technology, users can place virtual Pop Mart characters in the real scene for shooting and interaction, which not only enriches the product experience, but also triggers a lot of social sharing, realizing the fission of brand communication.

  • Ikea AR Furniture Placement

The classic case of AR in the home furnishing industry, users can place virtual furniture models in their own space through mobile phones, intuitively view the size matching and style coordination of furniture and the home environment, and solve the pain point of "unsuitable size after purchase".
