Дополненная реальность приложения "ASTAR" работает ТОЛЬКО с КНИГАМИ, на обложке которых есть логотип "ASTAR". О ЧЕМ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ И КАК РАБОТАЕТ 3D-ИГРА? В книгах содержатся страницы с 3D-играми, помеченные специальным значком. Технология дополненной реальности превращает картинки в трехмерные говорящие объекты, которые перемещаются в пространстве, и ими управляет сам игрок. То есть 3D-игра «выходит» из книги и становится частью реальности. Для каждого 3D-анимированного персонажа прописан свой уникальный сценарий. Игрок управляет анимационными героями при помощи джойстика и специальных кнопок, отображающихся на мобильном устройстве. В КАКИЕ 3D-ИГРЫ СМОЖЕТ ПОИГРАТЬ РЕБЕНОК? Управлять танками и участвовать в сражениях прямо на своем столе. Выполнять боевые задания и побеждать в них. Летать на реалистичных самолетах и проходить сквозь цели.
