How it works
How ARVideoCards turns a normal postcard into a moving memory
This page explains the real sending flow, what the recipient experiences, and why the browser-based AR reveal feels simple instead of technical.
ARVideoCards is designed to make the experience feel magical for the recipient and straightforward for the sender. You do not need to understand augmented reality to use it. You only need a short video and an address.
The result is a real postcard that arrives by mail and later reveals the full video when the recipient opens the viewer in the phone browser and points the camera at the card.
The easier this feels from start to finish, the more naturally people trust it and enjoy the reveal.
From video to shipped postcard
Upload your video
Choose the short clip you want to turn into a postcard.
Choose the printed frame
Pick the image that should appear on the physical front of the card.
We print and ship it
The postcard is produced on demand and mailed to the destination address.
The recipient opens the reveal
They open the viewer in the browser and point the phone at the card to see the video play.
What the recipient experiences
The recipient receives an ordinary-looking postcard in the mail. That matters, because the surprise works best when the format still feels physical and familiar.
On the back there is a short URL and a simple instruction. They open the viewer, allow camera access, point the phone at the printed card, and the video appears aligned to the image.
There is no app-store step, no account requirement, and no complicated handoff. The easier this part feels, the stronger the wow effect becomes.
What makes the AR reveal work
The non-technical version is enough for most people, but the mechanics are also clear enough to explain.
NFT image tracking
The printed frame becomes a visual fingerprint. When the camera recognizes that fingerprint, the video is anchored to the card.
WebAR in the browser
The experience runs in modern mobile browsers, which is why recipients do not need to install anything before watching.
The printed image matters
A detailed printed frame tracks better than a blank or low-contrast image, which is why choosing the right frame is part of the product flow.
