The document provides instructions for creating and viewing augmented reality content called "auras" using the Aurasma app. There are two types of auras - local auras only work on the device they were created on, while channel auras can be viewed by any device subscribed to that channel. The instructions describe how to create both local and channel auras by selecting a trigger image and overlay video, then customizing the aura. It also explains how end users can view local or channel auras on their devices once they have been created.
