This is one of Augmatic’s latest AR applications. The guys at Damashek Consulting are well known for their interactive Christmas card applications. For Christmas 2009 they wanted to build upon their success and include an Augmented Reality element in the form of a secret ending which the user must ‘unlock’.
The card is set in a beautifully illustrated steam punk themed toy shop. The user is invited to explore and interact with the objects in the store to reveal the stunning animations. Once they find the portal, they are taken to the Augmented Reality application. A metal orb appears on the marker. Interacting with it will result in a variety of effects such as a snow storm, a 3D electric node garden and a holiday message.
You can interact with it here.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
You can get to the AR application by dragging the battery from the table into the zeppelin.
How or where do I get one of these?

That is seriously cool! Sadly I don’t have a printer where I am right now, but tomorrow I’m going to print the key and have a go with the orb! Neat stuff. I’ll have to remember to check out what they do next year.
This is very creative. Excellent work!!
