Disney Second Screen is an interactive onscreen film feature accessible via a computer or iPad app download that provides additional content to a user as he or she views a movie.[1][2] The movie links with the viewer's device through an audio cue, a manual sync, or with a visual sync indicator.[3] As the film plays on a viewer's television, interactive elements such as trivia, photo galleries, and animated flipbooks appear on the iPad or computer screen.[4] Disney Second Screen is currently available to use on an iPad or computer with Flash.
