Point your camera at your own face to see yourself mirrored with a Sesame Street character costume, complete with a mouth that opens and closes. The app worked as promised on our iPad, with both children or adults, although we noticed with some adult faces the image jumps around. It would be fun to screen caste the images on a big screen during a party or public event, as a way to share silly faces. Once you download the app, you can easily test out a sample set of AR (Augmented Reality) features, but additional content is offered in the child's menu with locks, teasing you to make IAP (in app purchases) that can cost up to $8. We were disappointed to see so much paid IAP content in the menu behind a fragile firewall. Content includes Dress Up Fun (try out costumes, hats, glasses and mustache styles); Sing and Play (move along with music videos as a Sesame Street character); Watch Videos (the songs are shown as a complete videos). Features include the ability to control the sound. Made in Australia by Weyo, using Apple’s ARKit3 technology. Learn more Learn more at https://step-3.box.com/v/sesame-street-yourself-app
