“Here’s how it works: When you hold a printout of a specially designed augmented reality “marker” in front of your computer’s webcam, it triggers the start of Mayer’s 3-D music video. The webcam will then transmit images of your face into the onscreen tableau so you appear as an extra, perched behind Mayer as he sings about heartbreak and betrayal.”

    I went from being super pumped about the AR music video to super disappointed after trying it out. Mayer's video is pretty lame. I think Los Valentinos' AR work is way more exciting: http://www.lostvalentinos.com/. JM dropped the ball.

    Well, that would make sense considering Mayer is a massive tool.
