Most of our community initiatives are focused on tech, so we saw this as an opportunity to create something fun that can benefit the hundreds of thousands of people who attend and watch The Santa Claus Parade. - Paul Crowe, Partner, BNOTIONS.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 05, 2013
For the past 109 years, The Santa Claus Parade has been creating magical memories in Toronto, thanks to the generosity of local businesses and Torontonians. Private donations, corporate float sponsors, and, of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus, all help make the Parade a world-class celebration of the holiday season.
Inspired by the Toronto community’s generosity, the team at BNOTIONS & SE3D Interactive are gifting Parade goers with a photo app that will add plenty of cheer to the Parade and the upcoming holiday season. SantaSnaps, available for iOS and Android, allows users to interact with all their favourite holiday characters and create fun photo moments and lasting memories. Parade goers will be delighted to stick Rudolph noses on their family, surprise their sweethearts with mistletoe, photobomb their friends with dancing elves, and more.
“A big part of the BNOTIONS culture is giving back. Most of our community initiatives are focused on tech, so we saw this as an opportunity to create something that can benefit the hundreds of thousands of people who attend and watch The Santa Claus Parade,” said Paul Crowe, Partner at BNOTIONS. “Every year my Facebook feed is full of pictures of friends and their families at the Parade. This is our chance to help them add some more holiday-inspired fun and creativity to those photos.”
SantaSnaps pays tribute to The Santa Claus Parade’s storied history while giving users a taste of the latest in technology. It is the perfect way for people to fill the time before the parade starts and in between floats, not to mention a great way to take photos over the busy holiday season.
“Everyone on our team has fond childhood memories of what an exciting, magical experience it was going to The Santa Claus Parade,” said Aaron McLean, Creative Director at SE3D Interactive. “Since so many Parade goers take pictures with their mobile phones, we felt there was an opportunity to give people a really special photo experience. By combining the latest 3D augmented reality gaming and photo technologies, we created a fun, easy way for people to engage with some of the coolest technology out there.”
