BBC Worldwide, in partnership with Twentieth Century Fox and creators Evergreen Studios, today announced the launch of its Walking with Dinosaurs: Photo Adventure app for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. Now you can see dinosaurs stomping down the street, roaming through schools and offices, and roaring to life in your home with this new augmented reality app.
Using the camera function of a mobile or tablet device users will be able to pose in any real world location with the stars of the 3D movie Walking with Dinosaurs, released in cinemas worldwide this Christmas. Using state-of-the-art technology created for the movie, Walking with Dinosaurs: Photo Adventure brings the dinosaur characters to life in incredible lifelike detail with sophisticated animation, sound and graphics that show every tooth and scale.
The free to download app, available at iTunes and Google Play, awakens six dinosaur movie characters and thanks to enabled picture sharing, allows users to instantly upload their unique dinosaur posed images to Facebook and Twitter at the tap of a button in both ‘Photo Booth’ and ‘Adventure Mode’.
The app’s Adventure Mode uses a printable target to uniquely create a virtual dinosaur habitat
on any flat surface. Watch dinosaur rivalries play out in front of you as the beautifully animated Pachyrhinosaurus and Gorgosaurus, the 3D movie’s hero and villain, spring to life and vie for territory.
“Walking with Dinosaurs: Photo Adventure brilliantly uses augmented reality to bring the big screen stars of Walking with Dinosaurs bursting into your world thanks to a fun and creative app that allows you to come face to face with a gigantic Gorgosaurus and share the moment with your friends,” said Paul Joffe, VP Digital Entertainment & Games, BBC Worldwide.
