WristWorld – Hatsune Miku AR Band

Licensing International Excellence Awards - Best Licensed Product Apps, Video Games WristWorld

 

Miku has led to a totally new strategy for the company. Using the original four wristbands as the core-game (each band is a level of the game), expansion-bands can now include new licensed characters, so that a Batman band would allow Batman fans to play as that character. Expansion-bands unlock different characters in the game. New properties will now be targeted, and this innovation is a direct result of the Miku license.
