It has been developed for The Times of India and Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. other publications and properties. It uses the mobile device's video camera to recognise pre-trained images and overlay an image,video or 3D content on the recognition of image. Aliveapp is the only augmented reality application in the world to be available on the four major platforms(Android, iOS, Windows, Blackberry Symbian and Java) and is augmenting the complete newspaper.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.quora.com/Augmented-Reality/Has-the-Times-of-India-TOI-become-the-first-augmented-newspaper-in-the-world-by-coming-up-with-the-AR-app-named-Alive )〕 It is the first publicly available application designed for a Newspaper Giant that used a location-based approach to Augmented Reality along with the image based Augmented Reality. On the launch day it was reported that (December 13, 2012), the app was downloaded 250,000 times, leading to 300,000 augmentation views on a single day. == Features == Alive has incorporated both forms of Augmented Reality genres. This means it works as image recognition based browser as well as the location-based Augmented Reality. For location-based Augmented Reality the position of objects on the screen of the mobile device is calculated using the user's position (by GPS or Wifi or GPRS), the direction in which the user is facing (by using the compass) and accelerometer. In contrast, in marker-based Augmented Reality a marker (marker(news headline), e.g. QR code) is used for tracking. The augmented reality application can be downloaded from respective app stores or the official app site aliveapp.in. The images can be found on the current day epaper.timesofindia.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alive app」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
