It is possible to create 3D models for 3D printing and quite easy to choose and scan an object or a person. Cam scanner lets you search things visually, scan easily and quickly. 3. Geo-location based markers can be explored only in places where they are located within a 50m radius. You can find nearby markers in the Map section of the app. ARLOOPA is the best alternative to Aurasma.The app offers a ready-made 3D models library, which you can use to combine 3D models and create different AR scenarios. How to use the AR Scanner: • Choose a marker from the website - http://arloopa.com/#ourmarkers. • You can print out the marker on a regular printer (even in black and white), or scan directly from the screen. • Open the app and point your device at the marker. • After a bit of loading, you will see the magic of augmented reality happen directly on your device! It can be a video, 2D image or 3D animation. • Some 3D objects can come to life and interact with you - simply tap on them to see the reaction. We work with individuals, brands, creative advertising agencies, museums and cities to make your everyday life filled with new content and visual experiences, educational and entertaining AR discoveries.

Congratulations on your discovery of these coloring pages! You probably already guessed that they are unusual. You're right, they are magical. Characters on them come to life and look the way they were imagined and colored by your child. Out of millions of apps, you've found the best! Awesome! We could say that we've transformed these coloring pages into magic by using the innovative technology of augmented reality. But it actually does not matter what technology was used. The important thing is that we have created these coloring pages for you, your children and grandchildren with great love. We tried very hard and put our heart and soul into them, which is why they are so magical! Here's what you need to do, it's very simple: 1. Do not say a word to the child! Download this application without them seeing you. 2. Choose the coloring pages you think the child would like. And print them on regular printer: directly from the app or from the livecoloring.org site 3. Have your child color them any way he/she wants. Warn them that you now possess magical powers and will be able to animate their creation. Ask them to prepare for some magic! 4. Launch the app and point the camera at the coloring page. Voila, the magic begins! Of course it would be better if you first check everything yourself and animate a couple of characters. If something is not clear, read the tips in the app. Just email us if something does not work. We will do our best to help. And remember! You have a great magic power in your hands now. With it, you can not only animate characters, created by your children and grandchildren, but also entertain the whole family.
