If you’re reading this before 4:45pm GMT on Sunday 2 October 2011, you’re a Spurs fan and you happen to own either an Android or Apple smartphone, then you’re in luck. Pocket-lint’s App of the Day today is not something exclusive to you, but you’re going to get some very nice half time entertainment if you remember to download it before the home leg of the North London Derby.
Should you not be a member of the group above, then, fear not, it’s still worth a download. So, fingers on the trigger all the same.
------
The “Lite” part of the Aurasma Lite app rather cheapens it but, given that there’s currently no paid version of Aurasma out there, then you can rest assured that your free download - which this is - is fully featured. So, what the hell does it do, you might be asking yourself.
Aurasma is an augmented reality browser platform that uses your mobile phone’s camera to examine pictures from the outside world as it searches for images and patterns that it can match up with those same images and patterns that it happens to have logged and recorded up in the cloud on the Aurasma servers. Once it makes a match, the servers then send down whatever video or stills image content associated to play on your phone's screen.
In the case of Spurs, the club’s sponsor this year happens to be Autonomy which owns Aurasma. So what both Tottenham and their sponsor have organised is that if you hold your phone’s camera up to the Aurasma shirt logo at half time on Derby Day, you’ll get a load of footage of the best goals scored by Spurs in the Premier League so far this season. Thanks to Spurs’s 4-0 demolition of Liverpool the other weekend, it won’t be such a short video after all. Whether there will be the opportunity to add on any more after the first 45 minutes against Arsenal remains to be seen.
