2. Defining "Phygital": Physical + Digital

Part 8 • Phygital Merch (Digital-Plus-Physical Fusion)

The term "Phygital" combines "physical" and "digital." In the context of merchandise, it means a physical item that has a direct, interactive link to a digital experience. This isn't just a QR code on a T-shirt that leads to your Spotify page. It involves embedded technology (like NFC chips) or visual triggers (like AR markers) that create a dynamic, personalized, and often exclusive digital interaction. The physical object becomes the "key" to unlock a digital world.
