With the augmented reality browser, Junaio, your smartphone can recognize reality via its camera--and then tell you even more about it. Metaio just transformed its Junaio Augmented Reality browser into a highly useful tool. Its new Scan function recognizes a range of real things--from pictures to QR codes to product barcodes--so it can supply extra info to its users about what it's looking at.

Metaio has just released Junaio 2.6, the latest version of its augmented reality "browser" for mobile devices, along with a plug-in for third-party app integration and a newly freshened-up mobile developer's kit called Unifeye.
