Smart Share Inc. developed and provided an AR photo feature for the Dandadan booth at Anime Expo 2026, held July 2-5 in Los Angeles. The browser-based web app requires no app install; visitors scan QR codes to collect digital stamps that unlock photo items such as characters, frames, and stamps. Photos are processed and stored on the user's device, not sent to servers. Smart Share handled planning, UI/UX design, system development, and event implementation.
Smart Share, a Shibuya-based firm that handles SNS marketing and DX development support, built the feature for the Dandadan booth at Anime Expo 2026, which ran July 2-5 in Los Angeles. The company cites Dandadan's overseas fan base as the reason for the project, aiming to let visitors move through the booth, collect items, and take home photos set in the work's world rather than only view displays.
The app supports English and processes photos on the user's device, so nothing is sent to a server. Smart Share handled planning, UI/UX design, system development, and event implementation. A company developer said the goal was a simple app that lets visitors enjoy the Dandadan world and keep it as a memory.
