Popular children's card game Top Trumps launched its first ever 3D collection at Hamleys Toy Store, London. The new 3D packs use Inition’s MagicSymbol technology and extends game play to an interactive on-screen experience.
Players simply hold the cards in front of a web cam and MagicSymbol technology unlocks immersive 3D augmented content, posing new questions and displaying live stats as the player interacts with the computer. The first Top Trumps game to go 3D was Bugs where a life-size tarantula literally jumps out of the players hand. Inition did all the 3D CGI work and animated the characters to enable user interaction and control.
3D versions of Horrible Histories, WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), Transformers 2, Star Trek, Ben 10 Alien Force and Spongebob Squarepants are out next.
