Show Off Your Disney Side App Launches

Disney has released a free new app for iPhones that allows you to show off your Disney Side.  Simply take a selfie photo, apply a character, make some adjustments and your Disney side can then be shown off.  There are lots of characters to choose from including:

• Anna, Elsa and Kristoff from Frozen
• Darth Maul, Queen Amidala and an X-Wing pilot from Star Wars
• Captain Jack Sparrow, Barbossa and Pirate Lady from Pirates of the Caribbean
• Jafar, Maleficent and Captain Hook villains
• Haunted Mansion’s Singing Bust, Hitchhiking Ghost and Madame Leota.

The Haunted Mansion options are locked unless your at the Haunted Mansion attraction or share 3 images onto Facebook or Twitter.

In this video, I show how to use Disney Side app.

And in these photos I show my “Frozen” side while Travis shows off his Jafar Villain side.

Once you download the app from the Apple iTunes store, facial mapping technology transforms you into a 3D moving character. To begin, the first step is to snap a selfie or have someone take a photo of your face. Here are a few tips:

• Smile big – but without your teeth showing.
• Make sure your hair isn’t blocking your face.
• Try to take your photo in front of a plain background.

You can personalize your Disney Side character with different costumes and frames. Then, by tapping or swiping the screen, your Disney Side will come to life with special effects, unique for each character. To share your creation, simply press the share button on the app and pick your favorite social network.

The app was created by TYFFON, an entertainment app developer and one of the participants of the 2014 Disney Accelerator, a highly selective, immersive mentorship and investment program for technology-enabled startups in the media and entertainment space.
