San Francisco 49ers Relive Glory Days Using Augmented Reality Trading Cards

The San Francisco 49ers might have a 1-5 record this season, but some unique trading cards being distributed before every game at Levi’s Stadium offer their faithful fans some respite.

In celebration of the 49ers’ 70th anniversary, the team is bringing to life some of the top moments in franchise history using augmented reality. By scanning each card using the 49ers’ official app, fans can relive moments from the 49ers’ five Super Bowl victories, The Catch from Dwight Clark, Jerry Rice’s record-setting touchdown, Steve Young’s famous scramble and Joe Montana’s championship-level cool.

The augmented reality platform Aurasma enables the video clips of those celebrated moments to appear on the card, including the drama that music from NFL Films provides.
