The innovative mobile app offers a brand new family experience where traditional toy play merges with digital fun
September 9, 2020 - Gameloft for brands, leader in the creation of gaming experiences for brands, and Moose Toys, leading toy company, are proud to partner on the OH! MY GIF: GIFs Gone Live App, a new digital tool that allows consumers to extend their experience with the OH! MY GIF brand.
Using AR technology, the GIFs Gone Live app brings the OH! MY GIF toys to life by scanning AR cards to create digital GIFs of the tangible OH! MY GIF toy they have just collected. The app also allows children to show their creativity and emotions by customizing their own videos and pictures with over 50 fun animated GIFs. They can also stay connected with friends and family through the app which allows them to share their favorite digital GIFbits through messaging apps.
