Celebrating the idea that kindness can be found anywhere, Starbucks launched an augmented reality experience that allows people to share kind messages with others.

People can access this AR experience through the Starbucks mobile app, by scanning a QR code in Starbucks stores or on the company’s website. The experience places floating sticky notes, photos, videos and other elements into a person’s environment through augmented reality.

While some sticky notes feature kind messages left by other people, others feature generic kind sentiments.
