Augmented Reality is Not Just 3D Books

Children loves the flap book.Just name one is Mariel,my 3 years old daughter. She has more than 6 flap books. She loves to read and lift the flap book. I think she can’t wait for new technology call Augmented Reality (AR).This technology enables viewing 3D object on to the book,using web cam and PC/laptops.It was a good news from Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany,ArsEdition ’s upcoming interactive 3D book Aliens & UFOs, provides a good example of Metaio’s Augmented Reality (AR) technology. It superimposes 3D objects (like the UFOs) onto the real world through camera recognition software, which is downloaded by a user after the book is bought. The only thing needed is a modern web cam on a Windows-based PC. Currently, there is no listed price or availability for the Aliens & UFOs book, but the AR-enabled Atlantica  3D Interactive book will be available in mid-November.
