Welcome to Pro iOS 5 Augmented Reality. Augmented reality (AR) has existed in sci-fi
movies for decades, is used in the military for head-up displays (HUDs), and until
recently, has been a thing of the future. With the upswing in mobile applications since
the introduction of the iPhone and the Android operating system, applications such as
Layar (www.layar.com), Metaio’s Junaio (www.junaio.com), and Wikitude

more day-to-day applications, such as that employed by the United States Postal
Service (USPS). |
