10 Awesome Uses of Augmented Reality Marketing

Dan Koelsch, December 27, 2009December 27, 2009

Mashable has collected a nice little list of 10 innovative ways augmented reality has been used for marketing. While many of the items on the list are for regular products like cars and feminine hygiene (no joke), but of course there are some examples of films using it, as we have shown before.
