AR Books
& Comics
Point your phone at the page and the story moves — an augmented-reality app that brings printed comics to life with embedded, animated video.
The brief
Make the comic book
come alive.
Anvel Studios wanted to bring comic books alive — to deepen the way both kids and adults engage with a story, without losing the magic of holding a printed page in your hands.
We built an augmented-reality mobile app that turns the page into a screen. Point your device at a marked panel and the embedded video Anvel created springs into motion — the illustration animates, the moment plays out, and the static page becomes a living scene. Real paper, real ink, with a layer of motion hiding just beneath the surface.
