Disney is launching augmented reality toys with a line of princess products in October; from there, it'll expand into other character lines. Until then, it's keeping a tight wrap on images of what it's developed, and we weren't allowed to take shots or video. We did learn that this is unrelated to Disney Infinity, the gaming project that's rumored to have augmented reality capabilities. As for these toys, I'm not going to write them off just yet, but I'm increasingly wondering if the promise of augmented reality can ever work within the limits of handheld devices.
