Simple 2D Image Tracker

Hello all. Noob here looking for help…

I’m trying to create a very basic mobile webpage with which I can take a picture of a printed marketing piece, and redirect the user to a website. The printed piece will have a logo and serve as the tracker which will trigger the redirect. If the logo/tracker does not exist on the printed piece, no redirection will occur.

Nothing special. Nothing emersive. No 3D animations or videos. Just a simple URL redirect. Exactly as a QR code works.

Any suggestions/advice will be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this question has been posed before.

Hi, welcome to the forums!

You can certainly do this with image targets. Instead of showing content when the image target is ‘found’ you would trigger a redirect using Javascript.

Hello George! Thanks for sharing that. I was looking at it. Super cool!

It says Cloning Unavailable. Can I download the assets/files and try to achieve my project locally?

Thanks again,

Image targets aren’t available in Studio, our free editor, which means they require a Pro plan and usage of our legacy editor.

Yes, you can self-host however it also requires a Pro plan as you’ll need a valid AppKey. Check out our examples here: web/examples at master · 8thwall/web · GitHub.
