A Family Fun Night Starring The Avengers A couple of years ago we needed to invest in a new TV. My husband, always on the forefront of technology, decided we should get a 3D one. When I had the opportunity to head to Walmart with The Avengers Augmented Reality App (available for iOS and Android) to do some shopping, I had no idea the fun that was in store. If you have never used an augmented reality app…oh my…it is so much fun. My daughter had a blast in Walmart using this to find out what The Avengers Super Hero she is most like. Ends up it’s Iron Man…no surprise there! So before we left to shop we downloaded the app onto our iPod Touch. The app gives you a good idea of what you’re looking for - the trigger points in the store. The mission is to complete a quiz in three parts each containing three questions. There are specific signs in areas of the store (Halloween merchandise, clothing, toys, electronics, and the deli pizza case), where you can scan a symbol and the questions will then come on to the app. The symbol produces 3D on your app and ‘pops’ out at you - it’s very neat. Hold the app over top and ....voila - a super cool city scene from the movie with a Super Hero on top of a building.
