Marvel will also launch a free Ultimate Spider-Man app for kids, which will feature content from Eugene Son, Matt Kindt, Cullen Bunn, Tim Seeley, JL Mast, Geoffrey Beulieu, Luciano Vecchio and Soutchey Leimetry (according to Bleeding Cool ).

Captain America: The Winter Soldier will be the first title to receive the adaptive audio treatment - with the sound transitioning seamlessly as readers progress through the comic.

The Marvel Augmented Reality feature will now be integrated as part of the digital reading experience, beginning with Jonathan Hickman's Avengers run, according to ComicBook.com .

The AR and audio features can also be disabled in the app settings.

Project Gamma was first announced at SXSW 2013.
