Star Trek XI DVD Special Bonus Feature
2 min readFans purchasing the Star Trek XI movie this fall will enjoy a new interactive bonus feature.
As reported by Variety, the feature, which has been named “augmented reality,” will be unlocked when the purchaser holds up the disc packaging in front of a standard webcam. Purchasers will log into a website to access the feature, which once unlocked, will be an interactive hologram controlled by the purchaser, which will be on their computer screen. Five cabins on the Enterprise can be toured using this interactive hologram, and for those wanting to blast at enemies, they can do so from the ship’s deck.
Paramount Home Video Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing Bob Buchi explained how to control the hologram. “If you took the visual cue in the package and turned your hand, then you’re turning the ship,” he said.

One will contain one disc with the movie and directory commentary, another will be a two-disc “bonus-packed” version and the Blu-ray version will contain three discs.
