Conclusion

As the semester is coming to an end we would like to thank you all for following us this past semester. As a required part of our Information Systems Management course we have greatly enjoyed the freedom to post what we think is relevant in today's Information technology society.
We hope that you as a reader have taken something away from reading our blog these past few months.

Much thanks,

Alex, Jordan, Marie

Augmented Reality Layar

Connections is the focus of this application.  It uses images from a broad spectrum of tools from smartphones to tablets and stacks related information on top of it.  These connections are made in the form of videos, sounds, or photos. It brings you into a reality you didn't even know existed until Layar opens your eyes.  The app brings in a whole new feature of print that is new and allows users to interact with traditional adds.  Currently Layar is the top platform for Augmented Reality.  The downloads are above thirty-five million including both Android and iOS. So who is using it?  One of the oldest magazines Readers Digest is using this application to initiate interaction beyond reading each issue.  With a price of $20 a page it is easily affordable for just about any curios creator to test the process.

 

Watch it in action:
