This App Makes Coloring Books Come to Life

The coloring book has just gone high-tech.

Mobile app colAR takes traditional 2D coloring pages and then turns them into 3D models that literally jump off the page. Unlike any coloring experience you’ve had before, the app makes the things you color come to life with animation that seems to bring the otherwise generic drawings to life.

Armed with a 96-box of Crayola’s and some imagination, I gave the app a try.

Unbelievably Simple

Did you know they have colored metallic crayons? I sure didn’t. Out of the crayon game for a while now, picking the colors for the plane picture I colored for our test was an exceptionally difficult proposition, also the hardest part of using the colAR app.
