Augmented reality for kids allows children to supplant images or otherwise alter their physical world in a fun way. This computer generated technology allows for more interactive games, experiential education and creative consumer interaction.
The holographic nature of this technology allows board games, sandboxes and roller coasters come to life in a big way. It provides young people to interact with their favorite cartoons and characters, like the Smurfs and Justin Bieber. It also provides a futuristic creative outlet, where they can dress dolls and make their own greeting cards.
On an educational level, augmented reality for kids can make reading come alive in a completely immersive way and also teach them about things they might encounter in their everyday life, such as where food comes from.
