Reminds me of those pictures that if you stared at it long enough the image went 3D - just as i got the knack they disappeared

Yes, I agree with needing a single app. I've had a quick look, and there is an app called junaio (and maybe others, too) that appears to read them all. Unfortunately, I shall need to upgrade my phone to test it.
Is anyone here familiar with augmented reality technology, such as Aurasma?

Apart from the other software companies, such as Blippar and Layar, it seems that companies such as Starbucks have their own apps for reading their content.

I wonder whether we would have to download an app for every one, as I presume that the Aurasma app cannot read Blippar content, and vice versa.

Anyone?
