With the advent of augmented reality, changes have occurred not only in the field of mobile games, but also in the category of toys, which can now be more interactive than ever before. Just a few years ago, no one would have expected that this transformation would also take place in the field of children's coloring books, but the product Neobear World's Tour, which we will present in today's review, is proof of the exact opposite.

At first glance, Neobear World's Tour looks like a completely ordinary coloring book, but the opposite is true. In fact, all more than 50 images can be brought to life thanks to augmented reality. To do this, you need to download a free application to your phone or tablet Popup AR Paintings, launch it, allow access to the camera and point to the front page of one of the three books. The app will recognize which particular coloring book it is and ask you to scan the corresponding QR code, which can be paired with up to five devices. Then all you have to do is hold your phoneonem or tablet, point at one of the images, it will suddenly come to life on the display and appear in 3D form, which can be viewed from all sides.
But the most interesting thing is that the pictures will be displayed in augmented reality exactly as you color them. It doesn't really matter what color combinations you use and whether they correspond with the real world. The application can process them in all circumstances and display your work in 3D exactly as you created it. Uncolored images can also be used.
The application itself is completely in English, so it can also serve as an educational tool for children to learn English. However, it can also be switched to German, Russian, Spanish, French, etc.ancUzbek, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and other Asian languages. After scanning the image, in addition to displaying its 3D form, accompanying music and, in some cases, characteristic sounds are also automatically played. In addition, it is possible to animate the images (for example, a penguin jumps into the water) and notchat play a narration, where you will learn more interesting facts about the country. The narration is again in English by default and can be switched to the above-mentioned languages. The application also allows you to take a screenshot and record a fifteen-second video of the screen.

For children who like to color coloring books and their parents want to teach them English, for example, the Neobear World's Tour set is absolutely ideal. This is a prime example of the "school through play" method, where children not only color, but also learn a foreign language and learn basic information about countries from around the world. And younger children, who still have learning ahead of them, are perfectly content with the fact that they can essentially bring their colored pictures to life and partially transfer them to the real world on the screen of a phone or tablet.
