Guests will have the opportunity to visit a recreation of Barbie\u2019s iconic Malibu Dreamhouse at their local cinema and bring different parts of the house to life using handheld tablets with AR technology. The tablets will give guests the power to choose their own path within the dollhouse, while they ask different characters for clues to find out where Barbie is hiding. Warner Bros and Mattel have the perfect opportunity to embrace the exciting prospects of AR in the entertainment industry, which market experts say can \u201crevolutionise the way we interact with\u2026the world around us\u201d (Sharma, 2023). This would also allow them to take advantage of the booming immersive technology industry, which has generated around \u00a31.4 billion in the UK so far (Immerse UK, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this is projected to be a high scale campaign, Barbie: Escape the Dreamhouse will allow Warner Bros to pioneer the use of immersive technology to enhance the traditional cinema experience. This is also the perfect chance for Warner Bros to invest in fandom culture once again and excite their audiences with a new and engaging immersive experience &#8211; especially given their track record of successfully bringing fictional universes, like Harry Potter, to life. Not only will we be working with an expert design team to ensure that the replicas of Barbie\u2019s Dreamhouse are precise and realistic, but we will be keeping the secrets behind the \u2018 AR magic\u2019 hidden, so that fans can suspend their disbelief and fully immerse themselves in Barbie\u2019s universe (Muckler, 2017). At the end of the experience we will be surprising guests with a digital feature from the film\u2019s starring actress Margot Robbie, as well as offering several photo opportunities &#8211; which will help us generate organic social media buzz about the experience and new film.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During their visit, we hope that guests will fondly reminisce about their childhood and find themselves laughing along with the fun Barbie characters they interact with, as well as their fellow guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1024x635.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-770x478.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1536x953.png 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-2048x1270.png 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-293x182.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1400x868.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1024x635.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-770x478.png 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1536x953.png 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-2048x1270.png 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-293x182.png 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-02-at-15.37.04-copy-2-1400x868.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot from &#8216;Hallway&#8217;
