Sounds like a lovely project - please keep me informed of progress!

Layar is a good tool too. When you use Aurasma you create a 'trigger' image which is what activates the AR component - this image is then what I use in other forms - printed materials, in blog posts etc - hope that is a bit clearer.

Will do Renate :-)
