Each book will be available in both “read” and “play” modes that bring the books’ illustrations to life through AR technology.

The “read” mode presents a digital version of the books with interactive illustrations, while the “play” mode offers games that can be played with characters from the books. “Bringing books to life through augmented reality provides opportunities to get all children excited about books, whether they enjoy reading or not,” says Benny Arbel, chief executive officer, Inception.
