Galactus are pleased to announce we are producing an augmented reality site for Carlton Books that will be used as a hub to promote a number of content packed children’s books including initial titles ‘Extreme Dinosaurs’ & ‘How to be a Princess’.
As well as pushing the books the site will also include an animated character to guide users through the site and walk them through how to download the augmented reality function.
Further developments include adding additional titles to the site throughout 2010.

Witchfinder:Dawn of the Demontide is Oxford Children’s Books super-lead title for 2010 and a website and widget will be produced to build interest and awareness of the Witchfinder series and act as an online hub to promote the books and William Hussey as an author to the trade and consumer markets
The site will be aimed predominantly at girls aged 12+ that are primarily fans of dark fiction.
