Discover hidden surprises lurking within one of four special 1000 piece Ravensburger jigsaw puzzles, by pointing your iPhone, iTouch or iPad 2 or 3 camera at the completed scene. Once the app matches the image, it can trigger music and/or animated features. It might turn a daytime image of Paris into a 360 degree night view, so you can look around, touching landmarks to pull up historical facts. In the puzzle called "Colorful Underwater World", you'll see fish swimming around. The app works with select 1,000 piece puzzles and will be available starting "Spring 2012." Puzzles will include Above the Roofs of Paris; Colorful Underwater World, African Animals and Lofoten, Norway. See http://youtu.be/ji9gwP-8O6A.
