We've been sitting on this one for awhile, but finally the cat's out of the bag: we're launching a new “augmented reality” app, simply called Saagara AR, just in time for the holiday season. We're also launching a new online store at shop.saagara.com, where you can purchase deluxe cards and posters which interact with the AR app, as well as providing a wealth of information on their own.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live view of a real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound and video. In Saagara AR, the live view (generated using the camera on a mobile device) is augmented by audio explanations of health and wellness concepts, and 3D graphics which illustrate those concepts. Graphics include a deep-breathing yogi, a woman engaged in chakra meditation, and a 3D city that illustrates the benefits of healthy, active lifestyles.

The new online store features a series of high-quality, attractive cards and posters which, when scanned by a mobile device’s camera, generate the AR functions (functioning much the same as a QR code). The posters themselves will offer useful information on yoga, deep breathing, diet, and more, making them an ideal decoration for doctor offices, yoga studios, holistic health centers, and the wellness-conscious home. Scanning the poster or card with a mobile device activates the AR, which offers even more useful information on the subject featured on the card or poster.

We're so excited to share this magical experience with everyone! Visit the shop to learn more!
