HP Reveal, also known as Aurasma was the first application that comes to mind when you say augmented reality application. Almost 10 years of lifetime, the popular Augmented Reality (AR) application was shut down. HP company executives made following statement on their website:
“We regret to inform you that after two years of helping people discover and share augmented reality experiences, we are shutting down the business and all of HP Reveal’s products. HP is pround of the community that has been built around Reveal and have been inspired by its use across the world.”
