Just when you thought coloring couldn’t get any better. Disney’s R&D division has developed an augmented reality-coloring book.
The app tracks coordinates on the drawing and uses them to fix the colors of pixels in the graphic. To convert 2D drawings into 3D models the colors are mapped on to parts of the characters hidden on the page. The algorithm also automatically makes adjustments to minimize distortions in the final graphic.
The app can take account of bends in the paper in real-time but it is currently limited to 12 frames/sec and struggles with sudden movement, which their team is still working on. Now this is a coloring book even an adult would love to try! For more details be sure to check out the video above.
