HP has launched HP Live Photo, an augmented reality app for iOS devices. The HP Live Photo app allows users to create, view and share images, using augmented reality powered by Aurasma, an HP Company. 

Users can download the free app from the App Store, choose a short video from their camera, select an automatically generated still image, add a template, then print or share it.

Every HP Live Photo will include a blue origami icon designating it as a HP Live Photo. Other users with the HP Live Photo App will be able to see the videos, when they hover their phones over the photo while in the app’s ‘View Tab’.

HP Live Photo is expected to be available later this year for other mobile operating systems.
