Collectors value physical cards but want modern ways to display and interact with their collections. AR could bridge physical and digital experiences.

Monetize through premium AR effects, marketplace fees, or licensed content packs.

Start with support for one popular card game using simple image recognition.

Risk: Requires partnerships with card publishers for official content.
