9. Aurasma studio: Auras Each Aura is created by tying together two different pieces of information: The trigger image or object which should cause the Aura to appear, for example a poster on a wall. The overlay that is inserted into the world when you view the Aura, for example a video or animation. To create an Aura you just need to pick one trigger image and one overlay, then decide where exactly the overlay will appear on the image.
