United Kingdom 2010 Great British Railways Stamps with Augmented Reality
Issue date 19 August 2010
Royal Mail has issued a set of 6 Stamps to commemorate the Golden Era of Great Britain Steam Locomotives.
These stamps are touted to be the world's first "intelligent" stamp and the first to work with image recognition technology (Augmented Reality). Viewing the stamp via a smartphone using "Junaio" (an image recognition application) takes users to a related webpage (Royal Mail Webpage or Channel as it was called) featuring a short film showing Bernard Cribbins reading W.H.Auden's famous poem The Night Mail.
The 6 stamps featured are
1st Class – LMS Coronation Class Coronation at Euston Station, 1937
1st Class – BR Class 9F – Evening Star at Midsomer Norton, 1962
67p – GWR King Class – King William IV photographed near Teignmouth, 1935
