Wonderscope

Imagine your favorite book came to life on your floor and asked you to play a part in the story! Wonderscope is an award-winning iOS app for kids that uses augmented reality to transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary stories. Through your Wonderscope, you can see the story take place all around you, whether you open the app in your room or outdoors. Read your lines aloud to engage with and talk to characters, and help them solve problems along the way. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT WONDERSCOPE New York Magazine: “For parents with younger kids, I’ve got at least one thing that could assuage some of that guilt about screen time: Wonderscope.” Vogue: “What if you could give your child an iPad for an hour and not feel guilty about it?... an app that makes kids smile and feel confident as they read absolutely feels like a win.” Fast Company: “Because kids look through the iPad to see the story on the other side, Wonderscope won’t close them off to the outside world.” CNET: “To get a sense of Wonderscope, imagine if Snapchat filters or Pokemon Go went to work at Pixar after graduating from Juilliard.” Variety: “The future of storytelling is happening all around us — we just have to look through the right lens to see it.” Common Sense Media: "It feels almost magical to watch as suddenly animated characters and scenery pop up all around you as part of ... engaging stories."
