Test an Aurasma Aura?

Aurasma Lite is a free app for the iPad 2, smart phones, and other tablet devices equipped with cameras.  It allows one to view a predetermined "trigger image" within the app and then have augmented content appear overlayed or next to it on the screen.  This augmented content can be a still image or a video.  The combination of the trigger image and the augmented content to be displayed is called an Aura.

If you are interested in seeing a simple aura that I have created:

     1. Install the Aurasma Lite app on your iPad or other tablet/smart device (camera required).

     2. Subscribe to my Aurasma channel by clicking on this link while you are on your smart, camera-equiped device (it won't work in a non-mobile browser):  http://bit.ly/Hb8k9E

     3. View this image by itself and then print it out (it does not need to be printed in color). NOTE: It actually doesn't need to be printed out at all.  I just got the trigger image to work by just viewing it on my laptop screen...

    4.  Start up the Aurasma Lite app an hold it above the picture you printed out (or point it at the picture in this blog post).  An overlay should appear that shows where some of the Westside Community Schools school buildings are.  NOTE:  I threw these images together quickly to test this concept.  The map of the buildings is incomplete.

    5.  Let me know how it worked ( Twitter: @pdlindgren )
