Let’s Collaborate

We look forward to hearing about your project and discussing ideas for how we can bring it to life.

Reimagining how
digital content is shared

Imagine handing or mailing personalized postcards to your target audience that they’ll actually want to keep—because each postcard is a paper portal to your digital content.

tan·gi·tal^™/ˈtan-jə-təl/nouna tangible item that creates a digital experience

People will scan a unique QR code on the back of their postcard to open a branded augmented reality [ar] experience – no need to download an app. They can then point their phone at the front of their postcard to bring it to life. Your video plays perfectly locked to the front of your postcard.

Paper-View^™ is your own personal broadcasting network

Imagine your postcards as tiny paper TVs that you can easily broadcast your digital content to – as often as you want. You can simply login to your Paper-View™ Post dashboard to easily upload and schedule your videos to play on select dates.

Also, you can track postcard engagement in real time to see when people are viewing the content on your postcards and how often.

Print marketing that converts

Imagine turning your paper postcards into trackable clicks. You can easily add a Call To Action button to your postcards with a link that takes people to your website, a social page, a review or survey page, your online store, a donation page, or any URL of your choice.

You can even change the button and link for each video and track the clicks in your dashboard.

Your postcards are powered by you

Multilingual Messaging

Our Living Portraits™ can speak in more than 70 different languages. We translate your script(s) and generate voices in the languages you request.

When someone scans the QR code on a multilingual Living Portrait, it will open a menu of the available languages. They can select their preferred language and the character(s) and content will come to life in their selected language.

Signs as a Service (SaaS)

One of the unique features of our Living Portraits™, similar to our Paper-View Post™ program, is that you can update the interactive [ar] content without having to print and install new signs. This makes our signs both eco-friendly and budget-friendly!

Bring your interpretive panels and signage to life

We can work with your existing designers or our in-house design team can create custom designs that use fictional characters or real people and bring them to life using augmented reality.

Our Living Portraits™ can also be incorporated into larger interpretive signage with additional interactive [ar] elements that can be used to educate, motivate, inspire, and activate your audience.

Eco-minded Signage

We have proudly partnered with iZone Imaging – the only company that provides a product that we feel good about putting our name on. Not only are their products (and production) eco-minded, but their signs come with a 10-year outdoor warranty that covers any fading or delamination.

Our Living Portraits™ and interpretive signs are produced using multiple layers of FSC® kraft paper that are pressed and fused together with heat and pressure and then cooled to become a single, solidified panel of thermoset material.

No solvents or toxic chemicals are ever used

Eco-friendly ink for printing

Internal recycling and waste reduction program

Closed-loop system that saves energy and water
