This useful AR application would be better online

This practical use of Augmented Reality -- which lets you see how you'd look in Tissot's high-end watches -- requires a download of an application. Most people won't waste their time, but if they could simply print out the paper wristband that contains the marker and use a website, it would get huge traffic. Still, it's a great demonstration of one direction AR is headed and what it can do.
