Econsultancy:

Yesterday Starbucks launched their new Valentine’s augmented reality (AR) cups.  It’s quite a clever way to get customers to not only drink their morning coffee but to buy one for a loved one.

All you need to do is download the app from Starbucks and you can “experience your valentine” as the heart on the side of the cup comes to life.

Video demo below.

What’s augmented reality you ask?

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
