Hasbro has reinterpreted Twister: You can now play it in an augmented reality version.

. How does it work? You attach bands to your hands and feet that recognise your movements. To do this, you download the appropriate "Twister Air" app to your mobile phone or tablet and choose one of 16 songs. One of them is "Twist in the Air": Hasbro's advertising song for the market launch. However, you cannot download your own songs.
The smart device is placed in the supplied device stand.

"It offers gamers of all ages an exciting new experience inspired by music that brings back memories."
