Making print come alive

I stumbled over a technology from Amsterdam called Layar today, launched in 2009. Essentially it allows anyone to scan a picture, object or printed page and see it come alive on their phones. This technology is great for magazines wanting to expand their advertising opportunities.

It is also great for retailers who can display posters of products, have consumers scan them and order them directly to their homes. Watch this demo to get a better feel of the product. 

For a recent project in our graduate program we used this technology to show our presentation. You can view a video of how we did that here:
