search at all – why can’t we deliver what customers want,

when they want it ?

Magic Code

• Magic Code is Tapgo’s proprietary interaction technology

• Based on digital watermarking techniques, it hides information in a picture, undetectable to human eyes

• This information can be accessed by a smartphone camera with our app

QR Codes provide interactive content – At the cost of being

totally ugly

Magic Code is completely

invisible…

What Is Magic Code

What Is Magic Code

• Tapgo’s app provides scanning and decoding for the technologies we provide

• After scanning a Magic Code, QR Code, or receiving a sound recognition signal, we offer a full set of interaction modules that advertisers can easily choose from.

Still, the Tapgo App is only half the story…
