There's even a really interesting crowdfunded comic called Polaxis. With the Marvel AR app on your iPhone or Android phone, you could get popups of extra art, extra content, and even AR-powered commentaries from the artists themselves, sort of like director's commentary on a DVD. While not many Indian comic books are doing this yet, Marvel experimented with AR a couple of years ago. One you've started the app and pointed it at the page, the extra content pops up on your phone's (or tablet's) screen, and you can interact with it in different ways. The good thing about Blippar is that it can use the full page as the marker, instead of a QR code or a logo, so it's really easy to use." "We explain to people how to download the app and how to use it. "We devoted an entire page to Blippar in Tinkle," says Neel Paul, Creative Director ACK Media. The newest issues of Tinkle Digest and Tinkle Monthly both have pages which have virtual content - to see it, you need to download the Blippar app, and then just start the app and point it at the page. To do this, Tinkle tied up with Blippar, one of the many new app platforms that are enabling businesses to implement AR through image recognition. The latest issue of Tinkle Digest shows how the company is working to stay relevant in a changing media landscape, and it uses augmented reality to make the comic more attractive to its young audience.
