The first ever ‘Intelligent’ Stamp? The Royal Mail have claimed they have created the stamp so that when viewed by a smart phone, it takes you to a related web page. It uses image recognition technology to show digital content on the smart phone. The stamps mark events and anniversaries in the UK heritage - these stamps open up a whole world of stamp collecting and information.

Create a profile and share it via augmented reality, face recognition and a smartphone. wedish based mobile software firm The Astonishing Tribe (TAT) has realised a new potential for this technology, introducing an Android app called Recognizr, a software application that can report a persons social networking history by simply pointing your phones camera at them. The application they have chosen to team it with? Well, it had to be social media related didn’t it. A nifty little augmented reality business card trick if you will.
