     40 <p>The world was a dismal and featureless place before rich media became
     41 prevalent. Remember Gopher? We don't, either. For your app to become
     42 part of your users' lives, give them a way to put their lives into it.
     43 Using the on-board cameras, your application can enable users to augment what
     44 they see around them, make unique avatars, look for zombies around the corner,
     45 or simply share their experiences.</p>

     47 <p>This class gets you clicking fast with some super-easy ways of
     48 leveraging existing camera applications. In later lessons, you dive deeper
     49 and learn how to control the camera hardware directly.</p>
