The AR Basketball App Mug is a mug and an augmented reality experience all in one. Have you ever felt bored during coffee breaks or while waiting for the hot tea in a mug to cool down while at home? What better way to spend your coffee break then enjoying a cup of your favorite hot drink and shooting a few basketball hoops on your iPhone? Now this is all possible due to one mug.
The AR Basketball App Mug is a novelty product which came to life due to cooperation between AR23D Studio and Paladone – the largest manufacturer of souvenirs in Great Britain. Paladone released a special mug with AR marker, while our company provided an application – AR Basketball, which shows augmented reality technology at its best.
The AR Basketball App Mug is an oversized ceramic mug with a capacity of approx. 330 ml. One side of the mug is completely flat on which a AR code is printed.
To enjoy the functionality of this mug, simply download the free AR Basketball (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/arbasketball-augmented-reality/id393333529?mt=8) onto your phone and start the app. Point your phone’s camera at the AR code on the mug and once the basketball hoop appears, throw the ball using the on-screen swipe bar and score points. The AR Basketball App Mug takes mug design to new levels of innovation. Packaged in a matching gift box the AR Basketball App Mug is a great present for everyone!
The mug is already available on E-bay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/AR-BASKETBALL-APP-MUG-Augmented-Reality-Tea-Coffee-Mug-for-iPhone-5-4-3-iPad-/350786629462?pt=UK_HG_Crockery_RL&hash=item51ac832f56) and in UK retail.
