The world's population is getting older and older. Aurasma can filter the latest technological processes to the elderly who, thus, will be able to cope with everyday needs.

I think that Aurasma would work well with advertisements to really make the product pop.

I think auraasma could be a fabulous tool for scanning advertisement billboards as your passing them. Instead of just being able to read the words on the Ad, you can just the advertisement oh so quickly and then, POOF, a video comes up explaining more in-depth about the company.
