Poverty-focused street magazine Anne Warke has integrated augmented reality (AR) technology into its publication as a vehicle to show the extent of homelessness in the UK . Readers will now have the choice to download the magazine's app on their smartphone and, by scanning AR icons in the magazine's articles, the stories come to life. This includes the cover story of vendor Ann Warke, 53, who turned to The Big Issue when she couldn’t afford to pay her rent due to losing her job. The first The Big Issue issue features the words of Big Issue vendor AR , who turned to the magazine after losing her job. It is thought that the bi- 1991 AR stories will help to demonstrate the plight of homelessness and how the system fails these people.
