Record and Share High-Quality Videos Alongside Santa Claus Inside Your Own Home
Artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) developer, Immersion VR, in partnership with AI and AR publisher, Charactr, unveiled brand new, interactive AR mobile app, Santa Was Here, bringing the magic of Christmas home this holiday season. Available now in the U.S. and Europe for iOS, use your iPhone or iPad to record and save exceptional, multi-scenario videos of Santa Claus around the house with the ability to add personalized holiday greetings before sending and/or sharing videos to social media directly from the app. Whether Santa is caught landing his sleigh and reindeer in the backyard, seen dropping presents off under the Christmas tree, or witnessed magically disappearing into the night, Santa Was Here allows users to tap into their creativity and record videos right alongside St. Nick.
“We’re really excited to bring the magic of Santa Claus to everyone in a tangible way through this amazing app,” said Paul Jastrzebski. “We can’t wait to see the fun Christmas memories you create!”

- When prompted, grant the app access to your phone’s camera and microphone
- Choose the right angle and start recording
