My Corgi, Sookie, is used to having a camera aimed her direction and she’s even gotten used to being the guinea pig for new apps (check out her pose with Gollum here or what happened when I used the Walking Dead zombie app on her). And when 20th Century Fox and BBC Worldwide sent out info on their new Walking with Dinosaurs app, it was only a matter of seconds before I’d snapped a photo of her next to a dinosaur.
Getting the dinosaur to go where you want it to in a photo does take a little bit of finesse. However, a few minutes of practice time is all it should take to get the hang of it.
The Walking with Dinosaurs: Photo Adventure app works with iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, and Android devices and is free to download from iTunes and Google Play. The Photo Adventure allows users to insert a dinosaur from the film in photos in “lifelike detail” using the technology employed in the movie.
“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,” stated Paul Joffe, VP Digital Entertainment & Games, BBC Worldwide.
