you know 2d books were good enough for my generation but the current generation of kids well they may need something a little bit more advanced and that's where magic book comes in magic book is an app that uses augmented reality to bring your 2d books to life the way it works is that if you have it app on your tablet or phone you can use that device's camera to get some augmentin reality characters to appear on screen obviously not actually there but they're in the app and using augmented reality you can get a little bit more interactivity out of your book experience this is a page from where the wild things are and this is one of the dancing scenes so when I place the camera over the book I see a couple of characters dancing and I'm not sure if you can hear this or not but you can hear a little music too I can pan around the completely 3d models here so I can can see them from different perspectives and on this page there are trees in the background so if you place the camera over this page you'll see those trees growing you can actually touch the book to get those trees to grow the app will be available in March for Android and iOS under freemium model at that time it'll only work with one unannounced book however by mid-year the company plans to have ten books available for use with the app i'm eric franklin here at CES 2015 taking a first look at magic
