There are many different applications of augmented reality (AR) within the education market. Products and applications allow users to get closer then ever before to the content they are experiencing all in a creative and entertaining way. Now, Envolve Online have taken to Kickstarter with their latest educational product that leverages AR technology in the form of the Envolve AR Colouring Books. These books allow children to enjoy the traditional joy of colouring books with the enhanced experience of seeing the finished drawings come to life right before them.
Currently on Kickstarter, the Envolve Colouring Books are designed to give both children and adults a way to express themselves through colouring before seeing their artwork come to life through the power of AR. By using the Envolve application with a compatible smartphone or tablet, users will be able to see the drawings come to life and move around, complete with the colours that they used.
The 3D models that are displayed during the AR experience match the width, height and depth of the design allowing users to walk around and enjoy them from any angle. The designs are enhanced further thanks to animations, sound effects and moving parts that even see some models open up to give users a better look at the inner workings, such as the human heart.
There are a number of different Envolve Colouring Books available that cover a range of different subjects. Explore the Solar System, learn about the human anatomy, uncover extinct animals and hear them roar, learn about greek mythology or simply colour and watch the drawings come to life. To back the project on Kickstarter, you’ll need to pledge a minimum of £5 (GBP) in order to get one of the books. A pledge of £9 will reward a pack of four books and £15 will reward you will eight different books.
At the time of writing the Kickstarter campaign still have 23 days to go and has not made much progress on their goal of raising £20,000 (GBP). If you are interesting in learning more about the Envolve Colouring Books make sure to head over to the Kickstarter page or the company website.
