Ever heard of augmented reality, also referred to as AR?
Well, if you haven’t, get ready because the Southlands Sun has been augmenting your print edition of the newspaper in a big way. By using a simple and free downloadable app, called PixzAR, the opportunity to bring your newspaper to life, with cutting edge technology, is at your fingertips.
Augmented reality is a type of technology that blends interactive digital elements on newspaper pages. The result is a composite, moving view – allowing you to watch videos, view photo galleries or listen to voice notes, all through your printed edition of the Southlands Sun.
