A kiterjesztett valóságra (AR) épülő képfelismerő algoritmussal felismeri a könyv lapján a nyomtatott képet. Ha a kamerát egy ilyen képekkel nyomtatott könyv lapjára, egy képre irányítjuk, a kijelzőn a kép helyén egy virtuális tartalom jelenik meg. Az erre alkalmas könyvekben a librAR használatáról tájékoztató található. Az alkalmazás könyvkatalógusa AR alapú borítókép-felismerés alapján bővebb információkat ad az olvasóknak a könyvvel kapcsolatban.
