a key standard of success for the westbury faery would utilise wattpad , an emerging platform for online storytelling and a second emerging platform , aurasma , to deliver augmented reality activated clues . with wattpad , our aim was to deliver the experience and elicit hundreds of thousands of theories and short story submissions to the ' # westburyfaery writing contest ' . in doing so , we enthralled fantasy fans around the world and created an entirely new narrative format .
with the ability to trigger more complex 3d effects , and the promised future streamlining of its ar pop - up experience , aurasma shows a lot of potential . the company first demoed its technology in april ; the super 8 activity is its first forge ahead , but by no means its last . autonomy promises it has a lot more coming down the pipeline . next on deck : embedding a pop - up video in a paper catalog tsubo shoes .
at this time we cannot offer discounts on our software . we advise that you continue to use our free platform which allows you to create and share as much content as you like through the aurasma app . if you would like to request a quote for universal auras from our sales team though , simply click on the ' my account ' option in your studio account ( top right ) and then under ' quote history ' click ' request quote ' and fill in the required details .
in the case of the super 8 poster , the app currently plays a short teaser clip for the movie . autonomy says that could change , though , if j . j . abrams and the creative team behind super 8 decide to include new clips or even a totally different type of content ; the idea would be to evolve the content the longer the movie ' s out . unlike a lot of ar apps that depend on black and white tags , aurasma relies on image recognition , as opposed to a bar code or qr code . this means the company can
light up
almost anything , be it a physical object or a static page . using the characteristics of an object ( including an image ) , an action is associated with it in a database , and then when the app identifies that object , it deploys the action that image has triggered . we saw aurasma work on the sample image the company provided of the mona lisa , and on a different picture of the mona lisa , too .
each published chapter of world faery society ' s wattpad book ' mystery of the westbury faery ' , released a new clue ; an inventoried piece of photographed evidence . when the still image is scanned with the free aurasma ar app platform , investigators discover 3d digital details in spectacular audio - visual quality . for example , the much anticipated evidence # 27 tea caddy becomes brightly illuminated and spins to unravel an ancient runic riddle into english—leading investigators to question if westbury faery herself had concealed a secret message all along .
a futuristic augmented reality tie - in for the movie super 8 turns your smartphone into its own science fiction story . with just your iphone and its camera , the movie ' s new app can turn any super 8 poster in the united states into a video clip from the film . the technology behind this comes from autonomy , which normally plays in enterprise software . but with its ar play , an iphone app called aurasma , you can use your smartphone or tablet to trigger cool videos and animation based upon what you ' re looking at through the camera .
aurasma ' s content is just one aspect of a long and complex viral marketing campaign for the film that ' s included a hidden url in a single frame of the movie ' s original teaser trailer and some extra footage hidden in the movie ' s iphone app . by solving puzzles and following clues in the app and around the web super 8 fans are able to unlock frames of this hidden video . since the super 8 app has already been downloaded over a million times , users have been able to work together to assemble minutes of hidden footage this way .
aurasma ' s history began with a british company called autonomy . autonomy was one of the leading producers of image recognition software when it was picked up by hewlett packard in 2011 . in the early 2000s , autonomy used the theories of an 18th century mathematician - - the reverend thomas bayes - - to create a pattern recognition software . the software used algorithms based on bayes’ theories that it was possible to calculate the probability of certain objects , people and ideas being associated . autonomy’s pattern recognition software - - idol - - did just that , using video and images to calculate the likelihood of a particular action occurring .
all you need to do is : click the ' my account ' option ( top right ) in your account ; and then , under your profile image , click the option to ' share your private campaign ' . you can then copy the link ( using ctrl + c ) into an email to be sent to those who you want to be able to view your private ar content . if they tap on this link on a mobile device which has aurasma installed , the app will automatically open , and they will automatically follow your account containing the auras you want them to be able to view . this way multiple devices will be able to see auras in an account which is still private and not available to the wider app user base .
during the fall of 2015 , undergraduate history students at the university of central missouri were among the first in the country to participate in a student - driven , course - based project that leveraged cutting - edge augmented reality technology to create museum displays . as part of dr . jessica cannon’s hist 4328 history of flight course , students researched and produced historical documentary materials on local and nationally important moments in aviation history . those materials were then converted to augmented reality displays for the nicholas beazley aviation museum in marshall , missouri . only a few museums ( like the smithsonian ) have used professional staff to create their own augmented reality content to date , but this course project was unique in that the content was student - produced using the aurasma app ( urltoken ) .
to supplement the historical context of this blended online and face - to - face course , assigned readings provided the basis for discussions on museum display design , video production , and documentary strategies while students worked outside of class on researching and developing their videos . students worked in teams of four or five and ultimately created a total of six augmented reality “auras” using the aurasma app . each aura runs 2 - 3 minutes when viewed in the museum , so students had to learn to be concise and selective in providing essential details and context for their topic without losing their audience ( who would be holding their phone or tablet aimed at the target image for that time ) . a seventh “aura” was filmed at the museum and is a longer video demonstration by museum staff of how a wooden propeller is made .
yes this still has its bugs to work out , but what this ar app will let you do is so far ahead of any other ar app i ' ve tried . you don ' t have to worry about printing out visual triggers… like google expeditions does . nor do you have to be connected via wi - fi network . and you can publish what you do so anyone can have access to your creation . this also does an amazing job with overlays and allows you to move many of the objects on the 3 - d axis . they ' ve added new objects over the years and some of them need to be cleaned off that don ' t work . but that ' s just growing pains and i ' m confident that this will only get bigger and better and more amazing as the years go by . i ' m excited about the new upgrades coming ! from the description it sounds like we can look for them anytime now . long live a aurasma – hp reveal !
i remain sceptical about wearable technology – aka “the contextual future” , aka “augmented reality” – even though the media ( moi apart ) keeps hyping it to the point at which people might actually start to believe that they want their bodies connected to the internet .
i’m not averse to contextual technology per se . hearing aids fall into this category – and they work . and as someone who is terrible with faces , i’d love something embedded in my ( non - google ) spectacles to remind me who i’m talking to at social events . but i don’t think such a thing will ever come in a reliable form .
however , these airwave ski goggles from oakley are a rare example of wearable technology that makes sense . at the bottom right - hand corner as you look through there’s what appears to be a 14 - inch screen at a distance of 5ft , telling you all sorts of stuff from your speed to where your friends are on the mountain and how many vertical feet you’ve skied – as well as showing you any texts , emails and phone calls your iphone or android has received . and if you don’t mind missing the sound of an approaching avalanche , you can also listen to music via a wireless control pad on your wrist . a decent idea , sleekly executed .
the ar content may be the film ' s coolest trick yet , though .

it ' s the most wonderful app in the world . and why not ? everyone just loves having apps that can barely function .
also , you can make overlays for your auras using pictures from your very own phone , but you can ' t use triggers from your phone . gee , it ' s like someone got lazy and decided to halfway implement such a feature for mobile users because it ' s funny watching them desperately trying to take an image that ' ll work .
the fun doesn ' t stop there ! you can look forward to hours of fun making auras on your pc with whatever images you choose , and even fancier overlay options . oh , did i say
fun
? sorry , i meant
tearing your hair out in blind fury because literally nothing will work
. it ' s like a classic game of russian roulette ; you ' ve got to make a lucky shot , and the chances are oh - so - slim , but that ' s the fun of it , right ! ?
i recommend this app to anyone who looks forward to hating their phone , their pc , and every living being on the planet who claims this app is wonderful and somehow possess the witchcraft to make it work for them .
love it for adding easter eggs and other hidden fan content to any product . however , it ' s buggy sometimes and will stop working in the middle of a presentation which always looks bad . i would like to see more sensitivity from the scanner : i ' ve used similar images ( not exactly the same , only similar ) to trigger the same aura . would like to have the option of using a branded logo image consistently across campaigns and simply change the word copy , and have the app trigger different video content . currently it ' s not that sensitive .
yes this still has its bugs to work out , but what this ar app will let you do is so far ahead of any other ar app i ' ve tried . you don ' t have to worry about printing out visual triggers… like google expeditions does . nor do you have to be connected via wi - fi network . and you can publish what you do so anyone can have access to your creation .
this also does an amazing job with overlays and allows you to move many of the objects on the 3 - d axis .
they ' ve added new objects over the years and some of them need to be cleaned off that don ' t work . but that ' s just growing pains and i ' m confident that this will only get bigger and better and more amazing as the years go by .
i ' m excited about the new upgrades coming ! from the description it sounds like we can look for them anytime now .
requires ios 8 . 0 or later . compatible with iphone , ipad , and ipod touch .

teachers looking to make auras viewable through multiple devices ( for instance parents’ and students’ phones ) will find it more convenient to create auras online in the studio - in fact for any type of large scale implementation of ar , we would recommend creating content in studio vs the app .
auras created on your device will be more simple auras , and , initially at least , can only be viewed through your device . whilst it is possible to share auras created on your phone with other phones and tablets , this is a less efficient way of making auras accessible to multiple devices . auras created in the studio , on the other hand , can very easily be delivered to tens , hundreds , even thousands of mobile devices .
allows you the user to have accounts in two places : an in - app account , and an online account in the studio . content is generally created online in the studio , and then viewed using the app . it is also possible to make a few smaller , more simple auras in - app .
we are working all the time to improve the links between app and studio accounts , and they are already linked together to some extent . if you open an account online in the studio , or in - app , you will then be able to log straight in to the other using the exact same login credentials .
logging in to both studio and app with the same login credentials will ensure that the two accounts are more closely linked together . content you create and share from the studio will be automatically available in your app account , meaning you will not need to actively follow it in order to view it on your device . you can also test private content automatically using the simulate button in studio if you are logged in to the app with your studio login credentials . the key , then , is to have studio and app accounts with the same login details !
however , studio and app accounts are not completely linked together . auras created in app will not appear in studio , and they cannot be moved in to the studio - if you want your auras available in both app and studio , you should create the auras online in your studio account . these studio auras are delivered to the app by ' sharing ' them in studio . as stated above , if you are logged in to both app and studio with the same login credentials , any auras you share from the studio will automatically appear in your app account - you will not need to actively search for and follow those auras in app .
no . we do not offer dedicated educator or teacher accounts . all studio and app accounts are the same .
no . all accounts have the same levels of functionality already set up by default . you do not need to do anything else once you have set up an account . we do not offer any further free upgrades .
from the app store or google play and installed it onto your device , you are able to create simple auras in - app . tapping on the information button in app will provide you with more information on how to make auras in - app .
auras you create on your device can initially only be viewed through your device , although it is possible to share auras created on your phone with other mobile devices . if you are looking to create auras which can be viewed through multiple devices , we recommend creating them online in the studio instead .
the studio is a free online platform that allows you to create and publish your own augmented reality content , which we call ‘auras’ . similar to a content management system , you can create sophisticated and professional - looking auras in the studio simply by uploading a few digital assets .
first you need to sign up for an account . click here to register for an studio account !
once set up with an studio account , you will be able to start making your auras by uploading your assets – the images you want our technology to recognise ( trigger images ) , and the videos or images or animations you want to overlay these images with on your device ( s ) ( overlays ) .
for more detail on uploading your assets , linking them together to create auras , and then delivering these auras to multiple devices , you should take a look at our studio tutorials here .
no , setting up an account on the studio and creating as many auras as you like in your account is completely free of charge . for more on what you can get for free on the
no . we want our technology to be completely accessible to schools and non profits without their having to worry about costs . we therefore advise teachers and schools to deliver auras through the
app by ' sharing ' them in the studio and having users ' follow ' their accounts in app .
once auras have been created in the studio , you have the option to ' share ' these at the click of a button . when you share an aura , this means that anyone using the
app can view the aura ( and all other auras you have chosen to share ) simply by searching for and ‘following’ your account in app .
content as you like on the app for as long as you like , completely free of charge .
some auras can be viewed automatically , these are called ' universal auras ' . these experiences do not require app users to first follow the account in which they exist , however these are restricted to customers enrolled in our beta program .
as part of hp’s constant commitment to innovation , we are currently in the process of reshaping the future of hp ' s augmented reality products . as a result , we are reworking our paid product offerings , including universal auras , and will therefore not be taking on any new customers into our beta program . we will have more to share with our registered users in the near future .
although we are reworking our paid products , you can continue to create and share ar experiences through the studio for free .
if you want other users to avoid having to go through the ' follow ' process , the other option is to provide users with the login credentials of a user which is already following the content . this would be our recommended approach :
* try not to encourage users who are logged in with those details to follow anything else - otherwise , everyone using those login details will automatically be following those channels too .
no , there is effectively no limit . we would , however , advise managing content so that your viewers are seeing your latest auras , as this will ensure faster loading times .
no , they do not need separate accounts . however , accounts are set up on a one account - one user basis . if you do want students or staff to use the same account , we advise setting up an account with a general login which you are happy to share .

augmented reality is on the cusp of radically transforming not only our daily lives but also education , making almost every experience in the real world a potential learning opportunity . we already rely on maps that suggest nearby restaurants and voice - activated technologies , and undoubtedly our dependence on instant and relevant information to real world experiences will continue to grow . as augmented reality technologies become ubiquitous and inexpensive ( or even free ) , they provide a powerful tool that can be leveraged to engage students both in learning and creating content .
for the project , students spent the semester researching , writing , and producing mini documentaries on both historical topics and biographies that complemented the existing displays in the museum . this part of the project was much like a traditional research paper , with students expected to utilize primary source documents and provide proper citations for their work . the information they found was then organized into short scripts that were paired with images to create short historical documentaries . in one case , students took on the characters of the two founders of the company , russell nicholas and howard beazley , to record an introduction for the museum .
students gained experience with augmented reality , video production , and video editing technologies , which look great on their resumes , but they also learned about completing large , professional - quality projects from design to final production . in the end , they created engaging materials that will be used by thousands of visitors . the project was an ideal hands - on application of history that had a broader impact that a typical class research paper or poster . as one student noted in the course evaluations , it was an opportunity to apply their education to the real world : “i thought this project was great at having us work on multiple skills that varied from computer editing software , to writing , to team leadership . it was fascinating to make this project come to life , and to know that it was actually going to be used in a museum . ”

i’ve positively identified packing boxes for eta chips in an early woolworths nz store in 1964 . eta actually began in 1923 – a small family company in australia producing mustard , fruit syrup , compotes and jams . i already knew the brand was established much earlier in australia as i have found eta jars going back to the 1930s on historic sites so it’s likely products were exported to new zealand up until the time the domestic factory launched . however the eta brand had been registered in new zealand by griffin’s ( primarily famous for their biscuits ) from 1935 onwards to market .

here’s the third instalment of the four square stores promotional snap set that was an issue sometime between 1979 and 1981 ( there were two other sets i know of that i have now pinpointed to being produced in the early 1960s ) . i have previously posted on this item here , and here , and here on eta chicken chips so many of us remember from the 197os and 80s :
it seems that at some point in the 1960s , likely 1962 – eta opened operations in nz , or licensed the brand to someone like sanitarium . without any public news archives available after wwii right now it’s really hard to get a picture of a lot of the history just from random ads or collectibles that turn up . i’m building a database of nz brands , and according to what i have so far there were not that many peanut butter labels ; betta / sanitarium and tucker / sunshine were the main ones , and also mclaren’s which i know nothing about and may have been imported . i have ads for eta from the 60s on . definitely by the time i was young in the early 1970s they had a huge and well - advertised range of products in nz .
i really loved this even back in the day as it was already retro - looking then , having not been revised for a very long time , or at least – very out of step with the current graphics trends of the 1980’s . i wasn’t able to find any references at all which i thought was amazing for such a popular product over the years . so with a lot of work with adobe programs , and some imagination as well , i was able to reconstruct the design .

although clearly many more products than the few companies featured here produced glasses for popular and much loved kiwi brands , mike has focussed on the specifically new zealand - founded companies . as it turns out the tumbler above ended up in mike’s collection at auction close and he says “i found it interesting as it has “auckland nz” printed on the label . before i found this one it was assumed this series of glasses were completely australian in origin due to the design on the glass being of koala bears and australia having a long history of these glasses” .

he also has a fairly extensive collection of new zealand tumblers , specifically the ones that were printed with ceramic designs .
prior to the early 1950s , perhaps as far back as the thirties there were some tumblers produced by sanitarium and kraft , in colourful speckled bakelite or plastic . they were seemingly an identical shape , bar the imprint on the base denoting the company .
