Her Gone Life

Fans of Marvel's The Avengers, prepare for game play! In advance of the film release of Marvel's The Avengers on May 4, only Walmart customers will have access to the Super Hero Augmented Reality (AR) game featuring their favorite Avengers, including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

This new "Super Hero AR" app is available now for download at the iTunes App Store and Android Market. Once downloaded, customers have instant access to Hawkeye, and only from the aisles of their local Walmart stores, customers can then "unlock" the superpowers of the five remaining Avengers and ultimately save the world.

With more than 100 million augmented reality-capable smartphones in operation today1, Walmart is putting the devices to good use. Customers can use "Super Hero AR" in two modes, Game Mode and Photo Capture Mode. Here is how it works:

• Aim your smart devices at the target image to unlock each Super Hero's power;
• Collect the powers of the five remaining Avengers and get a chance to defeat Loki and win the game.
  

Photo Capture Mode (available for iOS and Android): Take a Photo with Your Favorite Avenger

• Activate "photo capture mode" from an Marvel's The Avengers DVD pallet in-store; a 3-D model of the Super Hero depicted on the DVD pallet will become visible on your phone;
• Take a photo with your favorite Avenger;
• Share it with friends on Facebook or via email.
  

Fans that just can't get enough will have another shot at bringing both Black Widow and Hawkeye to life.
