LOOK, FEEL, INTERFACE

AURASMA Triggered by printed images Scan of image is immediate from App Auras have no time limit unless set up by the developer Trigger images need resizing. Good file handling skills

required. Can be confusing creating actions on buttons ! Free to use ‘BUT NOT FOR ADVERTISING’ !! Expensive for ‘Skinned App’ £10 K + [inc full support] Can create complex auras making interesting ‘end-user’

experiences End users need to follow your ‘channel’ if you do not

have a skinned App [not a big deal really] ! Lets the end user move away from trigger and still

interact with Aura [this is set by developer]

LOOK, FEEL, INTERFACE

LAYAR Triggered mainly by printed images, there is the

possibility to use GPS End-User must tap screen to initiate scan Camera device needs to be pointing at trigger to get

to next interaction Free for for limited life-span for trigger [60 days]

then need to republish Dirt cheap for what you get if you pay £ 35.00 per

page [adding as many or as few buttons / interactions as you can comfortably fit into the space on the page]

Skill level – fairly easy to get to grips with

LOOK, FEEL, INTERFACE

ZAPPAR Triggered by image or by Zapcode (variant on QR code

but far more content delivered than simple link shortening).
