Hence we shot videos with India’s well-known architects and integrated in the book through augmented reality. A feat like this has never been attempted before, making 50 Amazing Homes, India's first interactive architectural book”
Taking a step further, the company partnered with India’s leading augmented reality and visual discovery platform, Blippar to create ‘50 Amazing Homes in India’.

It was a great experience associating with Skyboard’s mission and creating India’s first Interactive architectural book. It gives a unique opportunity to interact with the celebrated architects across geography on a single platform, making it a collector’s item.
