Augmented Reality Ad Parks a Mini on Your Mag

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

For as long as there have been magazines, there have been ads to put inside them. All of them mostly text and graphics, and always confined to the page – until now.

The folks at Mini have been printing a brand new advertisement that looks like a black and white page with simple instructions in German automotive magazines. But the ad, as it turns out, will provide anyone with a webcam the ability to check out their own 3D model of a new Mini Cabrio right on their computer screen.

While the advertisement might not be available here in the U.S. (easily), it will provide most readers with an opportunity to check out something unique and interactive. Want to see the ad in action? Be sure to check out the video.
