PBS, BBC and bully! teamed up on a prehistoric experience that shows one of augmented reality’s most fascinating powers, time travel!

When a product jumps off the pack, moves in 3D, or lets you interact right from your phone’s browser, something shifts. You're not just consuming a brand experience, you’re living it.

Here are five brand campaigns that use 3D and AR to do just that.
