Augmented reality for music

Every cover holds
a performance.

Album artwork, tour posters and merch become augmented reality fans scan with a phone. Music videos, unreleased clips and backstage moments, living inside the things fans already hold.

What fans see

Every surface becomes a stage.

One scan with a phone and static artwork comes alive. On the street, in the record store, at the merch stand.

Why now

Physical formats are back. Make them play.

Vinyl keeps growing and merch is a core revenue line. AR turns both from static collectibles into playable media, on the platform artists already use.

How it works

From artwork to AR before the release date.

Upload

Your artwork is the trigger

Album cover, poster or merch print. The physical design your fans already hold is all Artivive needs to recognise.

Attach

Layer the experience on top

Music video, animated cover, unreleased track teaser or a message from the artist, built in a drag-and-drop editor. No code, no developers.

Scan

Fans point a phone and it plays

Through the Artivive app or a WebAR link in the browser. Nothing for you to build, nothing extra for fans to figure out.

Measure

See what moved them

Scans per city, per release, per campaign. Know which poster wall worked and which pressing fans keep coming back to.

Where it works

One release, four ways to come alive.

Album releases

Hide the music video inside the vinyl sleeve. Give first pressings an AR-only bonus teaser that turns them into collector items.

Tour campaigns

Every poster in every city becomes a preview of the show. Scannable, shareable and measurable per location.

Merch that performs

T-shirts and totes that play on camera. Fans film it, post it, and your merch markets the next drop by itself.

Fan moments

Ticket stubs, liner notes and signing-session cards that open a personal thank-you from the artist after the night is over.

Questions

Before the next release.

Do fans need to download anything?

Fans scan with the free Artivive app or, on WebAR plans, straight from a link in the mobile browser. Either way there is nothing for you or your label to build.

Do we need developers?

No. You upload the artwork and attach video, animation or 3D in a drag-and-drop editor. Most releases are live the same day.

Can we change the experience after pressing?

Yes. The printed artwork stays the trigger; the digital layer behind it can be swapped any time. Tease the single before release day, switch to the full video after.

What does it cost?

You can start free and publish your first AR artwork today. Paid plans scale with artworks and views, and campaign or label setups get custom pricing.
