QR 8Code

As a convenience, 8th Wall branded QR codes (aka "8 Codes") can be generated for a Project, making it easy to scan from mobile device to access your WebAR project. You are always welcome to generate your own QR codes, or use third-party QR code generation websites or services.

The QR Code on the project dashboard points to a unique "8th.io" shortlink for your project. This shortlink then redirects a user to the URL of your Web AR experience.

Both the QR Code and "8th.io" code for a given project are static and will not change based on project type or license.

8th Wall Hosted Projects (NO connected domain)

If your project is using the default 8th Wall hosted URL (in the format of "workspace-name.8thwall.app/project-name"), the QR Code and 8th.io shortlink will always redirect to the default URL. It it not possible to modify the destination URL.
