Immersive Magical Experience
“By taking PlayStation Move’s augmented reality capabilities and pairing them with the Wonderbook peripheral, we were able to create a truly immersive, magical world in which you’ll be able to learn how to cast many spells including: Incendio, Wingardium Leviosa and Expelliarmus, with your very own spell book and wand.”
The Wonderbook: Book Of Spells will be available to purchase for PS3 for $40 and with both PlayStation Eye, and Move controller for $80. This innovative game offers a unique experience that blends physical interaction with digital magic, making it a must-have for Harry Potter fans and gaming enthusiasts alike.
Augmented Reality and Gameplay
The Wonderbook: Book of Spells leverages augmented reality to bring the magical world to life. When players open the Wonderbook, the PlayStation Eye camera and Move controller work together to project interactive 3D images onto the screen. This allows players to see themselves interacting with the magical elements as if they were truly part of the wizarding world.
For example, when casting the spell “Wingardium Leviosa,” players can see the objects they are levitating on the screen, creating a sense of real magic happening in their living room. The game also includes a variety of challenges and puzzles that require players to use their wits and newly learned spells to progress.
Educational and Entertaining
Beyond its entertainment value, the Wonderbook: Book of Spells also has educational benefits. The game encourages reading and comprehension as players follow the spellbook’s instructions and learn about the history and proper use of each spell. The interactive nature of the game helps to reinforce learning through active participation, making it an excellent tool for younger players who are fans of the Harry Potter series.
Additionally, the collaboration with J.K. Rowling ensures that the content is authentic and true to the Harry Potter universe. Players will find themselves immersed in a world that feels both familiar and new, with plenty of surprises and magical discoveries along the way.
The Wonderbook: Book of Spells is a groundbreaking addition to the PlayStation 3 library. Its use of augmented reality, combined with the beloved Harry Potter universe, creates an experience that is both magical and engaging. Whether you are a long-time fan of the series or new to the world of wizardry, this game offers something for everyone. Mark your calendars for November 13th, 2012, and get ready to embark on a magical journey like no other.
