The App displays a 3D model that hovers above the picture.  When you lay the picture on a table, you see a very realistic P1 sitting anywhere the picture is.  When you move your device around it or move the picture (including lifting the picture off the table) the model turns with it and it's like holding an actual model.  There is a button that also allows you to control "virtual airflow" as if the model was in a wind tunnel.

The App you downloaded has the model information in it.  When it recognizes the picture and the orientation of the picture it displays the model to match the position of the picture exactly.  The print side is up and as you turn the camera or paper it knows to rotate the model in the appropriate direction.  As you move in or away from the picture it knows to adjust the size of the model.  The model always stays on top of the picture so this gives you that 3D look when the area around it is transparent and allows everything else around it to show thru.

It's kind of simple when you think about the individual pieces however when you put it all together and it works as well as it does... simply amazing result!
