There’s no better time to show off your school pride than during March Madness. The NCAA men’s basketball tournament features 68 teams fighting for a national championship. And for fans of each and every one of those teams, Thyng has an augmented reality activation specifically for you.
Here’s what you need to know:
– The downloadable Thyng 4.2 app (iOS) uses ARKit technology to build a 3D, augmented reality world on your smartphone, allowing fans to walk around and interact with objects relevant to his or her team, like a mascot or logo. The app supports both surface and target-based augmented reality.
– As of March 12, the Thyng app features a March Madness folder with 75+ logos/mascot animations. The company plans to release short video vignettes leading up to the action, showing users creative ways of using the objects.
– Fans can submit their own logos to ‘MyThyngs’ in hopes that the Thyng team will incorporate them into the app.
– Fans can share creations socially. A new update to the app allows them to record and send video out via various social channels.
