Just watched you present this app

TNY posted a video on FB showing both the front/back cover art for the May 27th issue and how to use uncovr to bring the covers to life with augmented reality using cover. Bravo for the video, the issue and the AR actions. Wow. This I understand, your published poetry, not so much? -wjm
Fun idea

Clever way to have fun with a New Yorker cover. I'm sure they'll think of more ways to use the technology. I found I had to move my iPhone farther away to get a more full view; if too close, any tilting made it stop and start over. Lovely way to waste a few minutes. :)
What amazing fun!

The technology that is proven with this app is mind bending. What we would imagine in sci-fi has landed. Congrats!
What Is The Point?

Is this just a proof of concept? Interesting for the first five seconds then it's a big so what. You might as well scan a bar code that correlates to a hyperlink that runs a web-based video. You need to show me more. Where is the WOW! factor?
Ridiculous

It works, but what's the point? A clever way to drive me towards advertising. No thanks. Uninstalled.
Much ado

Reminds me of my first visit to Chuck E Cheese: the massive technology overwhelms the small content.
