Papa John’s and Snapchat Teamed Up on an AR Activation Backing Spider-Man: Far From Home

Papa John’s: Better ingredients, better pizza and better augmented reality?

The pizza chain used Snapchat’s marker tracking technology to create an AR experience activated when Snapchat users scan the Snapcode on its special new collectible Spider-Man: Far From Home XL pizza box.
