Development

Wonderbook is an augmented reality book which is designed to be used in conjunction with the PlayStation Move and PlayStation Eye.[1] The Wonderbook features computer vision techniques developed jointly with the Computer Vision group at Oxford Brookes University (an offset of the Torr Vision Group[2]). Marketed under the tagline "One book, a thousand stories",[3] it was released together with the launch title Book of Spells in time for the 2012 holiday season.[4]

Reception

The Wonderbook has received mixed reception over the years since its original release. Shortly after the Wonderbook's release in 2012, Wired talked highly of its cheap price point ($34.99/£22.99) alongside its unique approach to augmented reality.[5] The Sixth Axis, another video game review/news website, looked back on the Wonderbook 4 years later to examine the hardware. Though the Wonderbook itself is awkwardly large, Jim Hargreaves agreed that the tech was impressive for its time despite its quick obsolescence.[6]
