Bring Your Magazine Cover to Life with Your Smartphone



Augmented reality. That's what Time Out New York Kids Magazine is creating for their readers in their August issue as the first magazine using a technology that brings the cover to life with a multi-media component. Just shoot your smart phone at the cover to get a video. In this case, it's a video of  PS 22, the award-winning fifth-grade chorus from Staten Island. In today's game of trying to keep print titles in business, this technique is an inventive draw for readers and advertisers. Imagine what your favorite design or fashion magazine could do. 


What do you think? Would this influence your decision to purchase a magazine or newspaper?
