Augmented Reality Barcode Overlays

barKoder’s Augmented Reality overlays bring barcode data to life by displaying real-time, contextual information directly on top of scanned items. From inventory counts to expiration dates and custom labels, your users see what matters—instantly, visually, and interactively.
