What size box best fits your package?
Posted on 15. Jun, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
The US Postal service seems to have found a clever business use for some crafty augmented reality fun and games. Finding the best sized box to ship your stuff is now no longer simply guess work.
Here's how it works: you print a little eagle off the website. (This
is so the system knows how big your item is, relative to something
else.) Switch on your web cam and launch the Virtual Box Simulator.
Hold the eagle up to the camera until a virtual box appears, then
toggle the size to best suit whatever item you plan to ship. [via Adrants]
Let's just hope the SA Post office don't get wind of this and then translate this whole thing into Afrikaans. They could be transported into a line of business they'd only ever read about in Scope magazine.
