IDINOSAUR - AUGMENTED REALITY BOOK

Dr Darren Naish Loot.co.za (R129) Penguin Random House

WITH apologies to the original lyrics of The Teddy Bears’ Picnic: If you go down to the woods today you’re in for a big surprise…

Because today’s the day the Dinosaurs have their picnic.

iDinosaur is an extraordinary book featuring Augmented Reality (AR). It mixes the real and virtual worlds together, so that a computer or a mobile device with a webcam can bring this book to life with interactive animations.

Technophobes, don’t be afraid – all one has to do is download the free app. Four of the pages in the book have a yellow AR box on them. You hold your mobile device to each of the double-page spreads and the dinosaurs will literally come alive! –
