Just over a week ago, Starbucks launched their iPhone payment app, and now they have launched another app for the holidays. Starbucks Cup Magic is an interactive app that utilizes augmented reality to enhance your experience at stores. Essentially you’ll scan their red holiday cups, bags of coffee, and more in stores to ‘release’ new characters. The app will be updated in the future to support a Valentine’s Day theme. Note that eGift giving is not available in Canada, unfortunately.
Let’s bring the season to life with the Starbucks Cup Magic app! Use the app to find and scan all five Starbucks Holiday Characters – on Red Cups, Christmas Blend bags, in-store and more – and watch as they magically come to life through augmented reality on your mobile device. Who knows what holiday magic you’ll discover…
The app will also keep you up-to-date on the latest holiday offers and events from Starbucks. And when the holidays are over you’ll be prompted to install an updated edition just in time for some Valentine fun.
