WELCOME
CONTENTS
Hi and welcome to the June issue
of Aycliffe Today Monthly.
In this issue of
Aycliffe Today Monthly…
We’ve teamed up with Aurasma,
the world’s leading augmented
reality platform, using advanced
image and pattern recognition
to blend the real-world with
interactive content.
It means some of the features in this
magazine can be converted into video
content which can be viewed on your
phone simply by scanning the page and it’s FREE!
Aurasma is available as a free app
for iPhones, iPads and high-powered
Android devices.
All you have to do is download the
Aurasma App, search for Aycliffe
Today and ‘follow’ our channel, just as
you’d follow us on Twitter, and you’re
ready to go.
Open the Aurasma view finder
and hold it over any image in our
publications which includes the
Aurasma logo, and it will bring it to life!
Try it by following the instructions
and scanning the below image of our
MP, Phil Wilson.
Aurasma was launched in 2011
and has quickly risen to become the
world’s leading augmented reality
platform, with over 40,000 customers
operating in more than 100 countries,
including world-renowned brands
such as Sage, GQ, Mercedes, Alfa
Romeo and Jean Paul Gaultier as well
as pop stars such as One Direction
and Taylor Swift.
We’re always looking for the latest
ways to embrace new media, but
Aurasma allows us to complement
traditional printed media with the
most-up-to-date technology.
Our online video content has always
proved to be popular, but this gives
our readers the option to see our
interactive content within the context
of the magazine.
A huge thank you, as always, to all
our supporters and advertisers, and I
hope you enjoy this issue.
Martin
Editor, Aycliffe Today
