When the virtual Spider-Man appears on their phones, users can take photos and share them within their networks. Each photo experience will be unique to the user, and fans can share multiple photos from each interaction.To activate the animation sequences within the app, users can find out the locations for special marker images on the film’s official website and social network pages on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and more.
