TARDIS app Released
Friday, 13 December 2013 - Reported by Marcus
Following the successful launch of the Official Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver App which topped the entertainment charts in Australia, New Zealand, US and UK on its release, BBC Worldwide Australia and New Zealand and Australian developer Useless Creations have released a second app with the latest augmented reality technology putting you in control of the TARDIS.
Virtual TARDIS mode allows you to use the motion of your device to land and take off, fly the TARDIS in the real world or move fast to enter the time vortex. In Real World mode you can see the TARDIS spinning above you, or touch the ground where you'd like it to land and watch it materialise before your eyes. Rotate and scale the TARDIS to line up the perfect photo, then take and share your images on Twitter #DoctorWho #VirtualTARDIS, Facebook or Flickr.
There are six different models of the TARDIS to choose from, including the original one from the '60s, which turns everything black and white, just like the early Doctors' adventures. Tap the TARDIS to open the door and see inside.
Helen Pendlebury, Head of Brand Licensing and Live Entertainment, said:
Doctor Who News is also available, now with access to the Doctor Who Guide, free for the iPhone/iPad.

This latest fun app puts the TARDIS in fans' pockets, enabling them to fly to the planet Skaro – or just to the end of the garden path. And with the photo-sharing facility we look forward to seeing where the TARDIS ends up!
The app is available from iTunes. Doctor Who News is also available, now with access to the Doctor Who Guide, free for the iPhone/iPad.
