    SHANGHAI, CHINA, September 20, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- From the makers of the award-winning Dr. Panda apps, 'My Doumi' introducers players to an all-new style of virtual pet gaming as they raise and nurture their adorable pet Doumi both in-game and in the real world via AR.

Players can do everything with Doumi from eating, bathing and sleeping, to playing a variety of entertaining mini-games, exploring a number of locations as their virtual pet evolves and alters shape over time. More than 100 outfits and items can be bought in exchange for virtual currency in the form of gems, which players can either purchase or earn in-game.

"We believe that there is something magical in raising your virtual pet in the real world, and with AR technologies becoming more available, this is more possible now than ever," says Thijs Bosma, the founder of Dr. Panda.
