Toy Island Announces Kickstarter Campaign For New AR Video Making Product, Special FX Master

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Toy Island announced today a Kickstarter campaign to help raise funds for Special FX Master, a product that provides kids and adults with the ability to create unique videos featuring instant, high-quality special effects. The Kickstarter campaign, launching today, has a goal of raising $20,000 to help make Special FX Master become a reality.

How It Works:
Special FX Master combines an augmented reality app and physical props for a unique video making experience. First users have to download the free app, then select from five physical props that each contain special effects and then they can get creative and begin filming.  The Special FX Master app uses augmented reality to read codes on the props and replace them with awesome special effects. Unlike other apps, Special FX Master lets users see the effect in real time as they film.

"We recognize that video making is a popular activity, which is why we worked with two inventors to design a product that allows kids and adults to take their videos to the next level," said Tom Emelo, Vice President, Marketing, Toy Island.  "We hope the Kickstarter community appreciates the innovation behind Special FX Master and will help give us the ability to launch the product. The Special FX Master Kickstarter campaign will run until November 5."
