Tap That App: Marvel wants you to hulk out your comics with new AR app
2012-03-12
hi I'm Seth Rosenblatt welcome to tap
that app today I'm going to show you a
really cool app from Marvel Comics
Marvel's new augmented reality it's kind
of like DVD extras for your comic book
we're going to jump in the app picks up
on the image and shows you some
predetermined content based on what
Marvel's editors want you to see other
extras include Marvel editors and Marvel
writers giving commentary on the comic
book as you flip through it first
mightiest heroes The Avengers the
children of the atom d x-men in addition
you'll be able to see certain panels
from pencil art all the way through to
the colored stage so I think the extras
are actually really cool but it's a
little awkward to hold the iPad and read
the comic at the same time waiting for
the activation icon to show up other
than that though I think it's a pretty
cool idea and it's a pretty good start
the first comic that this is going to
work with is going to be Avengers vs.
x-men number one coming out the first
week of April for tap that app I'm Seth
