Experience Dennis Rudolph's artwork for the Karachi Biennal 2022 with this app. The supernatural has always been a source of interest amongst artists. What if a mythical figure was to appear and guide the visitor to experience a 200 years old book? The 200 year old illustrated copy of Firdousi’s ‘Shahnama’ in the NJV School library is brought to life through Augmented Reality. Rudolph uses his ‘3D’ paintings through the Simurgh App to create a new ‘virtual’ way of connecting to one of the longest epic Persian poems, the Shahnamah (977–1010 CE). AR drawings meet the mythical history of Persia’s golden days. Kindly supported by Goethe Institute Karachi.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simurgh App at none against Bedtime Stories Collection's 10. Simurgh App also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Bedtime Stories Collection's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
