As one of the largest and oldest companies in Brazil that presenting architectural trends, PROJETO magazine faced the challenges of a fast-paced world where communication is ever-changing and evolving rapidly. The company management knew that only publishing extra content on their website was not enough and sought new ideas on how to fuse digital communication tools with a traditional printed magazine.

In response to this challenge, AUGmentecture - an Augmented Reality solution - was combined with the printed magazine. QR codes illustrating buildings have been published in the articles that provide augmented reality experiences to the reader. This was a great cross between the printed and digital world. This partnership has also served to introduce AUGmentecture to the Brazilian market.
