Augmented Reality Tech Lets You Put GIFs Into Your Real Life. GIPHY's new app lets creators place active animations onto their own videos GIPHY, the online database for searching and sharing animated GIF files, has relaunched its iPhone app to allow superimposed augmented reality animations onto real-life footage.
The GIPHY Cam 2.5 uses your phone’s camera to tack on moving animations—similar to Snapchat’s whacky lenses. However, unlike Snapchat, which allows users to send their AR animations to other users, the GIPHY app is only for exporting videos for other messaging services, so the interface is designed to be simple and quick.

NEW YORK, United States — In 2011, when fashion industry veteran Rachel Shechtman decided to enter the world of physical retail, she knew the concept would, in many ways, have to serve as an antidote to the traditional store experience.

Five years on, Story has become one of the most interesting studies in how people want to shop today. Its refreshing merchandising strategy, which relies on a rotating series of themes and sponsorship partners, is what helps the store stand apart from a sea of retailers struggling to understand the needs of customers whose demands have changed in the age of e-commerce.
If time is the ultimate luxury and people want a higher return on investment of their time, you need to give them a reason to be in a physical space.

PHILADELPHIA, United States — Walking into an Anthropologie store is a sensory experience, incomparable in its visual richness and tactile quality to that of most other retailers.
An ode to the cultured bohemian, a rainbow of floral-etched serving bowls might be stacked on a found-wooden table, a suite of turquoise-accented flatware laid out nearby.
