- Aurasma – Aurasma allows users to create or view augmented reality experiences. Simply point your device’s viewfinder at an object or photo (called the “trigger”), and wait for the Aura, an interactive experience that transforms the trigger image into a video, animation, or another image. For Aurasma to work, the triggers must have an attached Aura. You can start by browsing a collection of pre-created Auras, created by Aurasma or by other users who chose to make their Auras public. The pre-created Auras include triggers such as fast food logos, images of superheroes, pictures of celebrities, and even dollar bills.
