Thanks, Rhys! We are glad that you had fun and enjoyed watching your video.
This morning, the Editor-in-Chief of Esquire David Granger showed Meredith some new technology that the magazine is using on the cover of the December issue.
After downloading software, readers can wave the magazine in front of a webcam or smartphone to activate a video response. It is called augmented reality and below Granger explains more about the experience.

What’s a gal got to do to get on the Emmy-winning NBC sitcom “30 Rock”? In the case of TODAY’s Meredith Vieira, pretty much anything.
Fey knew, all right: When her “30 Rock” costar Tracy Morgan appeared on TODAY last year, Meredith had locked lips with him in a faux display of passion that was, as Fey put it, “almost inappropriate.”
While Vieira maintained that she “would do more than that, if that’s what it took” to gain a guest stint on “30 Rock,” Fey bemoaned her own lack of steamy clinches on TODAY.
“Who do you want?” Meredith responded eagerly. “[Executive producer] Jim Bell? You want Al Roker?”
“I would take Al Roker,” Fey replied. Whereupon TV’s favorite weatherman stormed onto the set, dipped Tina’s head back, and pretended to give her a huge smooch. After the pseudo-clinch, Roker shook his head and bellowed, “Hoo-ha!”
“30 Rock” begins its fourth season at 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday, and while the show has long been a critic’s darling, it’s also picked up viewers every season.
“We feel very lucky – I feel we’re like in that movie ‘Final Destination’ and we somehow cheated death and it’s going to come find us,” Fey said.

TODAY helped People magazine celebrate its 35th anniversary by re-creating the show’s set from 1974, and all four anchors got into the groove by donning '70s polyester and shaggy hairdos (check out those 'staches!). Here’s a sneak peek at the magazine spread, which goes on sale on newsstands on Friday. Far out!
