Harry Potter Wizarding World USAToday Interactive Map

http://wizardingworldpark.com
USAToday included an interactive map to the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando. See how the map works as we walk you through using the map, online.

You'll see how to do it, step by step in this video.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter garnered some attention in today's USAToday newspaper with a fully interactive map included in the Life section of the paper.

On the back page of the Life section, a map of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter takes up almost the top half of the paper.

elow the map are instructions on how to view the interactive, 3D version of Harry Potter's new world at Islands of Adventure in Universal Orlando.

Go to HarryPotterWorld.usatoday.com
Watch the tutorial video
Go to HarryPotter3D.com
Click the "Launch Augmented Reality Map" button on the bottom of this page.
This will launch your webcam and you need to hold the map pretty close to the webcam.
Music will start first, then the interactive 3D images on the Harry Potter map.
You can also blow on your microphone to get the banners at Hogwart's, although we couldn't make this happen.
We did a little screencast video of us working with the map, so you can see how it works and/or doesn't work. In spite of the difficulties, the paper map is pretty cool and probably a collector's item, down the road.

Can someone answer this plz? Is this just like a 3D ride, or is it like a whole section of the park that resembles areas of the movie that u can just walk around? Can some1 answer plz??

[DestinationsFlorida]

@AndrewsSecrets360 This is an entirely new section of the park. You will actually be able to walk around Hogwart's Castle, the Owlery, Hogsmeade shops, taste Butter Beer, and more.

i tried and tried and doesnt work!!! AH!!!!

[DestinationsFlorida]

We had great difficulty with it, too. We found that if you hold it real close to the camera and very still, it will work.

Nice job showing how the map works. Too bad the technology doesn't seem quite ready for primetime.
