A good book meets clunky (but innovative) AR, with the "My Perfect Puppy" book/app combination. After you purchase the large, 32 page hardcover book (Carlton Books) for about $10 -- and you have a high quality, durable, illustrated non-fiction book by Kay Woodward with clear photos and real puppy facts. We're not book reviewers however. The associated AR experience will only work if you own the book. After you search iTunes or Google Play to find the app, you open the book to trigger the AR effects on your phone or tablet. Depending on the page, a puppy jumps off the page of your book. You can name up to four puppies, give him/her a color and/or tag, swipe to teach them tricks, "pet" them, give them treats or play a game of fetch. There are six puppies with there is a new AR experience on every spread of the book. If you buy the book, all the triggers all the content in the app for free. If you don't have the book, you can download the free app and unlock the AR triggers as an in-app purchase for $2.99. (Apple required all AR content to be accessible, even if you did not have the book, which is why there is a $2.99 in app purchase option for the AR Triggers). See iBugs by Carlton for a better AR experience.
