“Augmented reality,” or AR, refers to the placement of virtual objects into the real world around you. The technology is built-in on newer iPhone, iPad, and Android devices, so there’s no need to download a specific app for it. You can tap one of the burger images with an AR marker above to get the full AR experience.
We’ve done our best to replicate the size and appearance of the burgers in AR. If everything works like it’s supposed to, you’ll be able to put a virtual burger on your kitchen table, the hood of your car or maybe even your surfboard. Tag us in your pictures with #ARBurgers!
