This online book store from Israel does something special, by making classic children’s books look like they’re sitting on your table using Apple's ARKit for Augmented Reality (AR). You can swipe to turn the page, zoom into a page, and examine illustrations in 3D as the virtual book sits on your table. Jurors liked the collection, which includes Peter Rabbit and the DK Children’s Encyclopedia. The 400 MB download is free; books cost $4 each as IAP. The publisher, Inception launched in October 2016, and has VR apps for Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear, iOS, Android, Google Daydream, HTC Vive, and Microsoft MR. The company has partnered with Facebook to use their AR Studio.
