Quiver (formerly ColAR Mix)
© 2015 Puteko Limited
Coloring pages have been around for decades and augmented reality (AR) for years, but it took an app and some black-line PDFs that you can download from www.colarapp.com to bring them together. First released last year (2012) in New Zealand by Puteko Limited, a division of HIT Lab NZ, this app was renamed "Quiver" in 2015. It brings black line coloring pages to life. The images animate themselves, walking around as if they were alive. You can watch your images from any angle, play or pause your animation, and zoom in for closer look. Note that this app doesn't work on older iOS devices (iPod and iPhone3 or earlier). Some sheets are free and may contain ads (there's one for Starbucks, for example; and many others are sold for $2.99 as an in-app sales. To print pages, visit http://quivervision.com/.
