What you just experienced
That was WebAR image tracking: the browser recognised the photo and rendered a video precisely on top of it, following the picture as you moved the phone. No app was installed and nothing was special about the "print" — any photo can work this way, on paper as well as on screens.
The same flow powers living photos, AR albums, AR business cards and event posters. How the recognition works under the hood: AR trigger images.
Make your own in a minute
Sign up at pro.stories-ar.com, upload a photo and a video — you'll get the same kind of link and QR code for your own picture. The free tier is enough to make your first AR photos; the PRO plan ($24/mo billed yearly) includes 20 AR photos monthly for photographers and businesses.
Frequently asked questions
The video doesn't start — what should I check?+
Make sure you allowed camera access in the browser, the demo photo is well-lit and fully visible in the frame, and you're using Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android).
Does the demo work from a computer screen?+
Yes — recognition works on both printed photos and photos displayed on screens.
Is anything recorded when I allow camera access?+
No. The camera feed is processed locally in your browser for recognition only — nothing is uploaded or stored.
Will it work the same on a printed photo?+
Yes, exactly the same — print is actually the primary use case: albums, magnets, cards and posters.
