Pedigree Books has announced its 2013 range of Gaming and New Media titles will feature Augmented Reality (AR) technology—an innovation the annuals category has never seen before. This range will be sold as Super Interactive Annuals 2014, available starting August 1 this year.
AR will allow consumers to get added value by downloading a free app onto their tablets and smartphones that enables them to “read” images throughout the book and unlock “Super Interactive” features. Simply holding the device over selected pages creates brand new content, such as extended character profiles, extra stories, and activities including coloring, mazes, puzzles, and a make-your-own poster feature. Around 20 percent of the pages contact an “Exclusive Super Interactive Unlock” icon that will add an exciting new dimension to the experience for Pedigree consumers.
The new technology will feature across their Gaming and New Media range, which includes brands such as Annoying Orange, Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Star Wars, and Sonic The Hedgehog.
