Create an Aura – Trigger Image A Trigger Image is the image that will set off your Aura (ie. Poster or piece of art) Must be a stationary object Should be on a flat surface (wall or table) Should have lots of contrast (shapes, colors) Should not have large areas of any one color Cannot have anything that changes (like windows in a building)

Create an Aura - Overlays An Overlay can be a picture, a video, a sound track, etc. It is best to create your Overlay on your iPad If you can’t create the Overlay on your iPad, you can use DropBox to transfer the content to your iPad
