Hello dear friends. I want to give you a little gift. Do you remember that day when nine of us went in that wonderful garden in the middle of Dublin. Well, I took some photos and some video and I talked to you about Augmented Reality. Here you have a little example of this tecnology. If you look every picture with Aurasma App, you can see something more... Then, try and enjoy.

How to view the content in Augmented Reality in this pdf:

1. Install the smartphone just the Aurasma Application (you can found either for Android and iOS) and open it.
2. Search Channel "itiszuccante"
3. Select the button "Follow"
4. From the Home Screen PRESS the bottom button in the middle (What You see a Left) and frame the picture in the brochure What, AFTER A few seconds, will be displayed with multimedia contents.


Traduzione:
