Those of us living in Belgrade had a chance to check out the augmented reality installation at this year’s Science Festival. The set consisted of a giant book in which usual school subjects such as history, geography and science were presented with an AR twist. At the same time spatial signage and science safety symbols made visitors play the discovery game by pointing their phones at various signs pasted on the walls to uncover their meanings and hidden information.
Powered by junaio, the installation used image and face recognition, offering visitors an opportunity to experience different aspects of AR in fun and entertaining way. And fun it is as you’re about to see for yourself from the following video.
Finally, you can get additional information along with more photos from the event from this page. And in case you don’t know, junaio is a free app you can get from the two links below.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
