WowWee showed an upcoming game platform at the Consumer Electronics Show called AppGear, which combines real toys with on-screen animation to create a new product category it calls “appcessories.”

Each AppGear game will be offered as a free download for iOS and Android tablets, and children (or their parents) will buy at retail the corresponding action figures, model planes and other appcessories to play it. Some of the games can be played on smartphones as well as tablets.

The player can attach the plane to the front of the iPad with a suction cup to complete the effect. It’s supposed to mimic the way children run around the room flying a toy airplane in their hands.
