junaio is all proud to announce that their augmented reality app can work inside buildings. The subtext is that Layar can’t do it, and if you want to see how this works in real life, you should visit KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2010 fair and test the technology for yourself.
If you’re at the event, all you have to do is start junaio app on your iPhone or Android-powered device and select the KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2010 channel. Then, you’ll be able to get additional information on everything around by simply pointing your phone around the venue (and then clicking on dots to get additional information).

In other words, the company is hoping to bring AR technology to other closed spaces such as exhibitions, trade fairs, shopping malls, airports and rail stations.
