THIS APP ONLY WORKS WITH THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2013 BOOK.

See the latest Guinness World Records virtually exploding off
the page with the new Augmented Reality app!

Readers of this years Guinness World Records 2013 edition
can access a new dimension of record-breaking with this
FREE "augmented reality" (AR) app. If youve got the book,
download this AR viewer now to see record holders come to life
as stunning 3D animations.

What youll see:

• Encounter the great white shark – the worlds largest
predatory fish – without risking life and limb!
• Say hello to the new worlds shortest man – and the shortest
man EVER measured – in actual size
• Meet the parrot who can perform the most slam dunks in a
minute (yes, really!)
• Go for a spin in the worlds smallest helicopter
• Get up close and personal with the Goliath bird-eating
spider – a creepy-crawly the size of a dinner plate
• Have fun with the worlds smallest dog – a pooch that can fit
in the palm of your hand

Move your device around the animation to see an entire 360-
degree view. And look out for interactive animations that
respond to your touch – just tap the screen and see Zac the
parrot slam dunk a ball; guide the GEN H-4 helicopter across
the sky with your fingertips; lead Heaven Sent Brandy on her
walkies; and irritate the 11-in-wide bird-eating spider until it hisses at you.

Whats more, you can even grab a snapshot of yourself
alongside the record holders – almost as if theyre sitting right
beside you.

"This is a unique opportunity to witness the most amazing
record holders right before your very eyes," says Guinness
World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday. "I had to travel to
Kathmandu to meet Mr Dangi, the worlds shortest man – now,
anyone can have their photo next to him without leaving their
armchair!"

How it works:

To activate the 3D animations, look out for the SEE IT 3D logo in
the pages of the Guinness World Records 2013 book. When you
see the logo, launch the app, point your devices camera at the
book spread and watch as the record-holder comes to life.

This FREE app is available to anyone with a compatible iPhone/
iTouch/iPad with a camera.

Pros and cons of Guinness World Records 2013 Augmented Reality app for iPhone and iPad

Guinness World Records 2013 Augmented Reality app good for

It works as said, to who ever says it dont work you need to use it with the book...

I was looking at the wrong pictures, now I see the shark and the diver, and the dog and the helicopter and all that, this app works great, animations look a bit fake but what did you expect for a 3D image/animation from a book?

This app is amazing! I dont know why people are saying that it doesnt work. The app must be downloaded, then opened, and then you aim the camera over the whole book whenever you find a page that says "See It In 3D". You also have to have the Guinness World Records 2013, which is kind of obvious. Anyways, O would reccomend this app to anyone! I love it!

The app will work on the pages where 3d sign is posted. Please dont try on first page its just info. But very disappointed due to only few pages have this facility I think 5 or 6 only. But as people now not purchasing books so nice try to sell the book.

I was having a hard time at first but in order to get it to work you have to point your camera at the entire page! Then the 3D image will appear :)

This app works, just tricky to understand. U have to aim the camera at the full page and dont click the top right button, itll pop up on its own on certain pages. Not the index page though. What to add, more records!!

Some bad moments

Dont waste time on this rubbished app. It does not work at all. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My iPod touch wont function properly. It says "creating photo" then its black and it crashes plz fix that

I just downloaded the app, and when I go into the app, it gives me a black screen and kicks me out! My iPod is jailbroken so I rebooted it but no avail. DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Ok first of all it doesnt even turn on and when it did it was screwy, idk how it even works anymore -.-

App is impossible to work. Only fun if you enjoy looking at books through your phone camera for no reason.

It crashes and when it works all u do is take a picture and no other info pops up horrible app but I rated one cause it is a good book
