PhotoBloom AR

PhotoBloom AR

PhotoBloom AR is the 1st end-to-end Interactive Print platform and creator marketplace that allows you to make incredible printed memories that come to LIFE with movement and sound - using your videos! All through the magic of Augmented Reality (AR). To put it simply, we’re the Shutterfly for your videos and easy AR.

What inspired you to make this project?:
My family has been in the printing business for over 40+ years. My passion for photography, product development and technology has always kept my interest in the online photo making space. I developed a small photo product/customization platform in 2014 called www.hellocubee.com (funded thru Kickstarter). Since then, I've noticed the trend of VIDEO taking off as a popular way people are now capturing life's moments - except videos tend to live in our devices or just shared via social media . Videos are living memories and shouldn‘t have limitations to how we share them in the real world. That's when I realized by utilizing AR technology, a photo making platform would be able to add video as a new creative medium. A video that would have been hidden away in a cell phone or quickly forgotten online, can now be superimposed onto a real-world product and shared with a sense of tangibility. That was the start of PhotoBloomAR.
