Augmented reality app makes Japanese newspaper more engaging for kids
"The newspaper is now printed with blue borders around articles that are suitable for children. Parents can encourage kids to use the app by placing their smartphones over those articles, revealing animated characters and graphics, pop-up headlines and explanations about the topics being discussed. Additionally, articles written with Kani characters are replaced with the simplified Hiragana alphabet, making the stories easier to understand for those still learning to read." via Springwise
