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. Sony Stores, Activision, and Entertainment Weekly will also offer marker images.

Each new image activates one of 13 achievement badges that users can share on Facebook and Twitter.Commenting on the announcement, Dwight Caines, President of Worldwide Digital Marketing for Sony Pictures, said, “Many of today’s moviegoers are digital natives on the go, and our app allows us to engage them.
