“Augmented-Reality” Toys Premiere as Part of Fox Licensing’s Avatar Merchandise Campaign
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009
To support the December 18th premiere of James Cameron’s movie Avatar, Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising is launching a vast merchandising campaign, introducing more than 125 products in the categories of video games, toys, apparel, and publishing.
Mattel, Inc. will release action figures, vehicles, and creatures based on the movie that use “augmented-reality.” Each product in the line will come with a 3-D web tag, called an i-TAG, which consumers can “scan” using a home computer’s webcam. After the tag is scanned, special content, such as biographical information, additional images, and animated models of the figures, is revealed onscreen that is unique to the product. Animated 3-D models of the products will come alive when the i-TAG for deluxe figures is scanned by a webcam, and when two i-TAGS from a Battle Pack are scanned, the 3-D images will interact with each other.
