FREEPORT, Bahamas – As part of promotions for the upcoming ‘FLIFF On Location: Grand Bahama Island’ (FLIFF On Location) event (October 25 -28 at Pelican Bay Hotel), The Bahamas’ Ministry of Tourism & Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board commissioned Indusa Global, an IT Services and New Media Specialist to develop an Augmented Reality experience. Indusa Global achieved this using Aurasma Lite, an augmented reality app from HP for Apple / Android mobile devices.

The service allows these mobile device users to bring to life the ‘FLIFF On Location’ logo, and the ‘Islands of The Bahamas’ logo by visiting an assigned URL (shortened to: bit.ly/fliffbahama ). Once they’ve downloaded the ‘Aurasma Lite’ app, the link will open in the app, and they’ll be able to watch a video by simply hovering over the image.

We invite all mobile users to give it a try!
