The app was created by GoldRun, a startup based in New York that uses augmented reality as a marketing tools. It projects an image of Decker into the foreground of the iPhone’s viewfinder. 

According to the NY Times, Mrs. Decker pops up in several poses, “and some poses — like Ms. Decker blowing a kiss to her side — seem incomplete without an object of ardor in the frame.”
