Augmented Reality – adding extra content to your communications

  • Augmented reality enables additional digital content to be seen via a webcam or mobile phone
  • When a printed image is viewed by a webcam augmented imagery may be seen on the PC screen
  • A location based augmented reality application on a smart phone (iPhone) introduces text content when viewing places of interest e.g. Tourist attractions, when seen through the smart phone camera.
