Within a few years it will be common to use a mobile phone to interact with magazines in order to gain access to exclusive content. To give us a glimpse on what the future holds, Metaio has been working hard with SZ Magazine to give their readers an augmented reality experience they’ll never forget.

Metaio recently released an augmented reality game for Nokia devices. Titled Zombie ShootAR, the game takes place in a world overrun with hoards of the undead who are intent on making you lunch.
For those of you …

Today Metaio (the developers of Junaio) announced that their partners ROFO and HotPads are one of the first in the real estate industry to use augmented reality to visually show users all nearby properties in a several mile radius on their phone to take the hassle out of property search

The new Junaio browser has the ability to recognise markers, so at SXSW delegates had the opportunity to take part in a scavenger hunt at the show. This involved installing Junaio and then hunting down people in the special tee-shirts that have markers or finding carefully hidden markers around the event.

To a surprising lack of any kind of Metaio inspired fanfare, Junaio 2.0 arrived in the iPhone store (Android version coming soon). The new version of Junaio is a huge upgrade over the previous version, Junaio is now a full augmented reality browser, as well as creating 3D content you are now able to find your nearest restaurant, nearby tweets etc. Junaio 2.0 also has augmented reality marker recognition functionality. It’s all great stuff but the silence is deafening, we just cant help but wonder if 2.0 slipped out as an accident.
