Hidden away on the official San Diego Comic Con website, there is some really exciting news if you are lucky enough to be in San Diego during comic con.
Away from the actual event, in the Omni San Diego Hotel Grand Ballroom you can find Sega hosting a Sonic the Hedgehog Augmented Reality Experience. There will also be a concert with Shota Nakama held on the Tuesday evening but no details on that were given.
The event opens to developers and the public as a preview on the 19th of July, but it fully opens up on Thursday 20th and runs until Sunday 23rd.
Sega is presenting an AR Sonic experience and a special concert with the awesome Shota Nakama on Thursday evening, and dome takeover on Friday!
WHERE: Omni San Diego Hotel, Grand Ballroom, 4th Floor
WHEN: Wed., 7/19: Developer & Public Preview, 6:00–9:00 PM • Thu.–Sat., 7/20-7/22: 9:30 AM–7:00 PM • Sun., 7/23: 9:30 AM–5:00 PM
Absolutely no details as to what this experience will be were revealed, or if it will ever be released in any way so those who are not there can see or experience it. If you happen to be in the neighbourhood at that time, lets us know what it was like.
More information as we get it.

At long last, somebody will finally be able to answer my long-asked question: What does spin jumping look like in 1st person? Lol. X)”
thats VR, not AR – AR is having things appear in the real world through a device.
I’ll be there! Preview night sucks anyway. I’ll go straight to that!
Good thing im from Dan Diego.
…what?
It’s probably an event where Sonic and Dr. Eggman show up on stage, in Augmented Reality style. Hatsune Miku and the Squid Sisters did it before. My guess is it will be a live action version of the Sonic Twitter Takeovers.
