In June 2013, sticker manufacturer Panini launched a new series of trading cards based on the popular online game Bin Weevils (Bin Weevils Ltd., 2007). The cards incorporate Augmented Reality technology, meaning that the cards appear to come to life when looked at through a smartphone or tablet.
More than 2.3 million people play the online version of Bin Weevils every month and the game has won two BAFTA awards.
