Esquire

Esquire's Augmented Reality Issue

.....

GO BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!

As soon as I heard about this issue I had to go get it. I was skeptical about it working, but I was very very wrong. It not only works it's ridiculously amazing!

This is by far the most ingenious idea to come from the minds of our entertainment district.

The issue lets you hold up sections of the book that have the white and black box to your web camera and it reads it! Depending on the corresponding codes you get different 'video clips' you could say.

Robert Downey Jr. was clearly the only way to go for the star of this book (I mean come on! He's Tony Stark!)

The software for the magazine is smart enough that it can read sometimes 24 hours later and give you something new, A.K.A the section on jokes by the lovely Gillian Jacobs.

There are even advertisements that you can scan in!

Definitely a great buy! I hope they come out with more!
