Education through Augmented Reality

For a few years, tech companies such as Layar, Wikitude, and Junaio have helped advertisers enhance their print ads through digital applications, creating a form of advertising called Augmented Reality. For example, Layar will digitize a regular print ad for a movie so that consumers who have the Layar application on their mobile device can scan the print ad and suddenly be able to watch the movie trailer and see the show times for the movie in their area.

Although this form of advertisement has been around for a few years, we will likely see more AR advertising in the next few years, especially as Google’s Glass and other similar products come to market at more affordable prices.

I thought this was a cute advertisement for the use of AR, for those who are not familiar with the method.  Enjoy
