To be at par with the latest technology in the 21st century, the Royal Mail has come up with a new intelligent stamp, which can be accessed with the help of iPhone or Android devices by using image recognition technology.

The Royal Mail is the first in the world to come up with the 'intelligent' stamp, which is incorporated in the latest Great British Railways edition of Royal Mail, but the procedure of its working is very simple.

Users are just required to have an application called Junaio, which is easily available in the iTunes store and Android market. User can go to the Royal Mail channel after opening the app, and an option of selecting the logo of Royal Mail channel would open. Following this, the camera of the smartphone is to be opened.

If users receive an envelope with the special edition stamp, they just have to point the camera of iPhone at it and they will get to see an online video of actor Bernard Cribbins.

"Royal Mail's special stamps mark key events and anniversaries in the UK's heritage through a programme which aims to be both educational and informative", said Philip Parker, Spokesperson of Royal Mail Stamps.

He added that with the help of this advanced technology, their stamps will be launched into the new world of information, fun and interest.
