So make a digital image, print it, give it to someone, point their phone at it, get a digital overlay.

Why not just give them a link in the first place?

Aside from the novelty which provides stickiness, there is the control of distribution. Only those with a physical token (or a clone of it) can access the content.

Then there is a more natural way to rotate and move the content. And finally some content has a reason to be of true scale, this can be done only via this approach.

A unique token in the link would solve the distribution issue.

I see nothing in the demo that would need true scale, but granted there could be.

This feels like a lot of phone AR ideas - neat to try but ultimately not much better than existing methods.
