See how papermotion works - Night at the Museum 2
News Limited newspapers, working with The Dreamscape Group, have together with 20th Century Fox launched Papermotion with Night at the Museum 2.
This technology enables advertising content on the page to come alive as moving pictures and sound.
The release of Night at the Museum 2 created a perfect opportunity to demonstrate the impact and engagement made possible with Papermotion, and will change the way you think about newspapers.
Papermotion uses special animation technology to trigger interactive content.
The content is activated when readers visit a specific website and hold the image up to a webcam. The technology then triggers animated content including rich media such as video clips, music, mini-sites, games and 3D animation.
On Sunday May 17, News Limited Sunday papers gave readers their first opportunity to experience this amazing technology.
