Thursday June 12, 2025 11:05am - 11:25am MDT

Built for networks, streamers, creators and advertisers, IRCODE turns any visual into an interactive experience–shoppable, clickable, and measurable–in real time, without overlays or QR codes. See how a new second-screen layer is opening up a frictionless channel for marketing, sales, and engagement across all formats of TV and content.
