# Augmented Reality Jigsaws Ravensburger Puzzles Have Hidden Supplementary Video and Sound Content By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-04-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ravensburger-augmented-reality-puzzles References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/ravensburger-augmented-reality-jigsaw-puzzles/22079/) & [ravensburger](http://www.ravensburger.com/us/start/index.html) A series of Ravensburger puzzles reward the patience it takes to complete a [1000 piece jigsaw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intricate-jigsaw-puzzle) with a little something extra after putting the last tile in place. The German-based company created four puzzles that, when paired with the accompanying [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app) or [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-app-for-iphone) app, display video animation and sound effects that seem to appear out of thin air. By placing the iOS device over top of the finished scene, the accomplished piece-fitter can play a bonus game, make their way around the African savannah on a photo safari or take a panoramic tour of the Paris landscape. Another puzzle also features a DIY option for users to make a Norwegian-style snow globe. This augmented reality feature makes all the hard work and frustration associated with correctly fitting a plethora of similarly shaped tiles into a bigger picture pay off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Augmented Reality Puzzles:** Companies can utilize AR technology to enhance traditional puzzles and provide an interactive, gamified experience for customers. - **Interactive Toy Technology:** Augmented reality incorporated into toys and puzzles can revolutionize the toy industry by providing unique, engaging experiences for children. - **Multimedia in Traditional Games:** Incorporation of multimedia content into traditional games like puzzles can create a new wave of interest in these classic games and increase appeal to younger generations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** Incorporating augmented reality into toys and puzzles can create a new category of products and provide a unique selling point for companies in the toy industry. - **Education Industry:** Interactive puzzles and games incorporating multimedia content can provide an innovative tool for educators to engage students and promote learning. - **Retail Industry:** Incorporating multimedia content into traditional products like puzzles can create new revenue streams for retailers and provide additional value for customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Challenging Visual Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vizzles.md) - [Immersive Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-jigsaw-puzzle.md) - [QR-Connected Puzzle Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-indoors-puzzle.md) - [Augmented Reality Educational Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app.md) - [Artist-Edition Jigsaw Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistedition-jigsaw-puzzles.md) - [Playlist-Paired Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piecework-puzzle.md) - [Computer Generated Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baffling-bubbles.md) - [Immersive RGB Show Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementoni.md) - [Social Puzzle Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubiks-run.md)
