Nick Cannon’s Celebrity High Magazine has started integrating augmented reality technology into every monthly issue. Readers have to download junaio to their iPhone or Android-powered devices in order to get access to additional content, which is accessible by scanning the pages of the magazine.
For instance, the front cover of the Celebrity High January issue came alive with an exclusive interview by Ray J., musician and artist. The February cover features an exclusive video from Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars. Sports editorials in the same issue were enhanced with videos explaining mindboggling sports like Unicycling in detail, while editorial pieces like “The Top Ten Most Disgusting Foods” are graphically enhanced with cool 3D visuals.
Finally, this month’s Celebrity High celebrates the 50th issue and Nick Cannon will grace the cover with an exclusive augmented reality experience.
Commenting on the news, Nick Cannon said: “Technology is what will encourage our young audience to become interested in the topics relevant today. Augmented Reality is exciting and it’s engaging our youth and making a difference in how our youth view science and technology.”
