Today's Times of India newspaper has one full page Ford Ecosport ad which features Augmented Reality content. It uses Layar the world leader in mobile augmented reality and interactive print apps. Augmented Reality (AR) is the layering of media (video, music, text, picture, graphics, animation) on top of a live video feed or real world environment in real time to create an interactive experience.
The mobile AR world consists largely of two different types of experiences: geolocation - and vision-based augmented reality. Geolocation-based AR uses GPS, compass and other sensors in a user's mobile phone to provide a "heads-up" display of various geolocated points-of-interest. Vision-based AR uses many of these same sensors to virtually display digital content in context with real-world objects - such as, magazines, postcards or product packaging - by tracking the visual features of these objects.
To view the AR add first we need to download the layar app. Then open the layar app in your mobile phone and focus on the red ford vehicle show in the print ad. The AR image will pop up showing various Indian cities. Click on Chennai then you can see 8 important places in Chennai like Ennor pier, Huddleston garden, PoonamalleI barracks, Thalanakuppam pier, Chembrabakkam lake, lake of Roading, Sadras kalpakkam and Thiruneermalai. Picture of each location also given. You have to rotate your self (360 Degree) to see all these points in your mobile phone.
The participants need to post the unexpected location of the city to win Ford Ecosport.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.
My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
