It was truly an honor to be invited by PREVIEW magazine to witness the newest technical innovation in their December issue - Augmented Reality . I had an opportunity to be in this intimate press conference, thanks to my co-bloggers and Tracy Ayson of Summit Media. Ive been reading and collecting Preview Mag since 2007 and this technology marks a great milestone in the magazine industry. That's Preview for you. It was delightful to have this computer imagery experience since I am but a naive technophobic to some extent. I even asked Miss Edna Belleza, senior V.P. of GMA new media the difference between 3D and Augmented Reality just to clarify things that I am deprived of haha. Oh well, and the conference wouldnt end without us asking about the future plans of Preview and of course, Preview Men which i think will be big next year accdg to creative director, Vince Uy.

Never in my life have I imagined that I would be able to talk face to face with them Preview Folks. Actually , I was even surprised that right after the press con , Ms. Pauline Juan , EIC of Preview, approached the bloggers' table to chat with us. She was kind enough to accept our obligatory "a-picture-beside-you" requests. She even introduced the whole Preview Team which i know by heart but this time , its not just the illustration on the pages , but real moving human beings haha.

Point the print marker found on the lower left side of the front cover (look for the "P") in front of your computer's web cam and tilt the magazine in different directions and see Solenn jetset across four different and fabulous places.
