For Fans of Vampire Academy
Posted by DBRLTeen on Thursday, December 10th, 2009Vampire Academy is the popular teen novel by Rachelle Mead about a couple of teenage escapees on the run from their private school for vamps and half-bloods. Penguin Publishing invites fans to add their faces to the story by using augment reality, an online experience (via webcam) that meshes the real world with digital elements.
You can check it out for yourself by going to www.vampireacademybooks.com, and holding your copy of the book up to your webcam. Before you know it, the cover art will not only come to life, but you’ll also hear a special message from the author. The augmented reality experience will also allow you to put your own face on the book cover and share it with your friends. And if you don’t have a copy of the book, you can always download a PDF of the cover on the website.
