This is not the first instance of AR on print media, of course, but it&#8217;s nicely done.  I&#8217;d love to see this sort of thing make its way into scientific publishing eventually, for 3d and animated illustrations and data visualization. Right now authors can put digital content related to their work out on the web, but it&#8217;s an altogether different subjective experience when it&#8217;s integrated into the printed object (book, journal, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a video tour of the AR in the Esquire issue:<\/p>\n<p><object id=\"flashObj\" width=\"486\" height=\"412\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9\/4250084001?isVid=1&#038;publisherID=4249779001\" \/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" \/><param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=49407280001&#038;playerID=4250084001&#038;domain=embed&#038;\" \/><param name=\"base\" value=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" \/><param name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2009\/10\/30\/esquire-augmented-reality\/\">comments from mashable:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cPrint might be in trouble, but Esquire magazine won\u2019t be going gently into that good night.
