## What is Mur?

*Requires the physical book "Mur"*
*Winner of the Bologna Ragazzi VR/AR award 2017*

*Mur - a step in book*, is a beautiful, interactive and musical app built to augment the *physical children’s book, “A bear called Mur” by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko*. Mur is a little story with a big message about being perfect just the way we are. The app is targeted kids aged 4 - 8 and is for both iPhones and iPads.

The Mur app uses *augmented reality* to bridge the physical with the *virtual reality* of the app universe. The images in the book can be scanned, opening a dream-like intro sequence where the real-world slowly fades and makes Mur’s world appear. The book becomes *a set of keys* to unlock interactive experiences in a *360º world*, which can be navigated via the smartdevice as a sort of magical window. The Mur app follows the storyline of the book, but without words it focuses on *music* which is built up in four acts, each with a different theme. The music is especially arranged, composed and performed for the app.

*Developed by Step In Books, Denmark*
Step In Books is an award-winning company developing innovative experiences on mobile devices. Step In Books *work* with authors and artists *to bring stories to life* on tablets and smartphones.

Mur is created by the team behind *Wuwu & Co.* 
Illustrations are made by Anne Vasko.

### 1/5 — 업데이트해주세요

*2021-02-11, version 1.4.13*

아이폰 최신버젼(14.4)에서 작동이 안됩니다.

### 1/5 — 새만 날아다니는데 그것조차 화면에 안잡힘

*2021-01-14, version 1.4.13*

대체 뭐죠...
다른 증강현실책은 문제없이 봐왔는데
이건 전혀 안되네요...

### 1/5 — 흑백화면. 새가 버벅이며 날아다니

*2020-12-09, version 1.4.13*

흑백화면에 페이지 넘겨도 아무 변화 없음. 
그나마 새만 컬러인데 새 터치하면 그 다음부터는 소리는 나지만 버벅거리며 날아서 잡아서 터치하기도 힘듬. 
블로그에는 홍보 많이 해놓으셨던데 어플이 왜 이러는지..갤럭시탭 지원 안된다고 해서 아이폰 11로 받았는데도 이 모양..앱이 부실한데 이 책이 무슨 소용일까요.

### 1/5 — 갑자기 왜 안나오죠???

*2020-10-04, version 1.4.13*

전에는 나무위에 있는 다람쥐나 기타등등 다 잘되었는데요
이제는 아예 안되는데요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

### 3/5 — Superbe histoire mais appli à revoir

*2019-08-09, version 1.4.11*

Comme le dit le commentaire précédent, l’appli a un bug qui fait qu’une animation tourne en boucle une fois lancée ; il faut quitter et revenir au début et ça gâche un peu tout. Sans ça, c’est un super produit (belle histoires et belles illustrations)

### 2/5 — 새만 날아 다니네요

*2019-04-04, version 1.4.11*

곰도 움직일줄 알았는데 새만 날라 다니네요
그리고 매 페이지마다 새가 있는것도 아니네요,,,,
움직이는 동물이 더 많았으면 볼만 했겠어요

### 1/5 — 버벅거림이 심해요-

*2019-01-21, version 1.4.11*

소리가 다 나는데 음성이 안나오네요;
페이지 건너뛰어 넘기면 아예 실행조차 하지 않아요

### 4/5 — Magnifique appli mais manque de fluidité entre les pages

*2018-03-30, version 1.4.6*

J'ai été subjuguée par cette appli magnifique! Elle manie parfaitement la réalité augmentée et c'est vraiment magique pour les enfants. En revanche, une fois qu'on lance une animation sur une page du livre, impossible d'en sortir sans repasser par le menu. C'est dommage, du coup il y a moins de fluidité entre les animations et cela ne respecte pas la narration et la continuité du livre. Mais bon, là je chipote :-)
