“Newspaper Social” is a mobile app based on VeMIR that integrates seamlessly the printed, on-line, and social version of newspapers.

Users can point to a page or picture of the printed version of the newspaper and, upon recognition of the visualized part, they can access additional on-line resources related to the news.

For instance, by simply pointing a printed page, users can get on-line updates, access multimedia resources, see and post comments related to the news of interest.

This application has been realized in collaboration with ISTI and IIT institutes of CNR, and a trial is currently being carried out with the “Il Tirreno” newspaper, belonging to the “Gruppo Editoriale l’Espresso”.
