「rearColor(リアルカラー)」を使い所定のぬりえ台紙にかざすと、ぬり絵がそのまま立体的な3Dモデルとなり紙面から飛び出します。自分が塗ったぬり絵の色がそのまま反映されることで親近感が醸成されます。そして、更に驚くことに、画面をタップすると、ぬり絵が現実場面の中に飛び出し、360°の見渡す空間の中で自由に動き回ったり、特別な世界の中で動き出したりします。(※ぬり絵コンテンツ毎に、アクションは変わります) また、それらのコンテンツ再生中に写真機能で撮影、保存ができ、SNSで容易にお友達と共有して楽しむことが可能です。 rearColorでぬり絵を楽しむには、①アプリのインストール、②ぬりえ台紙のダウンロード、③ぬり絵した台紙にアプリをかざす。という流れになります。 Version 2.0.0:ユーザーインタフェースを見直しました。 詳しくはサポートページをご覧下さい。
