Disney Research app turns colored drawings into 3D characters
With the growing peace of technology, where everything is being transform and turned into a new venture some great researchers team also transformed the old traditional drawing patterns. A Disney Research group made a project to utilize augmented reality to transform a simple drawing into a staggering 3D character. This Disney Research venture can make coloring books even more energizing for those of us with limited art abilities.
The team has developed an intuitive Android and iOS coloring book application utilizing the Unity game engine that can take a colored drawing and transform it into an enlarged reality object on screen. You don't need to replace a pastel or crayon with a stylus; the application utilizes a computerized overlay that improves engagement.
But you can't utilize this application with any coloring book, however. You need to utilize it with Disney Color and Play coloring books or individual pages you can print out at home.
HOW TO USE:
While coloring in a photo, hold your cell phone or tablet — with the application open — over the drawing. (In case you're a pro at coloring with one hand, you won't have an issue with this; generally, request that another person hold the device above you.) The page and an animated 3D variant of the character will get loaded with color in meantime on the gadget's screen.
Researchers made animated 3D virtual characters and utilized custom programming to create 2D line-art representations of the characters for a coloring book. The application utilizes the gadget's camera to identify the character on the page and show the 3D variant of it.
A few sections of the 3D character clearly can't be seen on the page, for example, the head's back. A "lookup map" matches pixels in the hidden parts of the drawing to the pixels in the parts visible to the person; this makes it similar as though you're coloring the hidden parts also in real, as well.
Since a coloring book page can move and fold, the application can also recognize those progressions, which means the virtual character stays arranged with the page's surface. So on the off chance that you begin to turn a page, the character will climb with the page, as well.
Augmented reality is just utilizing technology to link this present reality to the computerized one. This app will be very beneficial for children’s who love to coloring. As the children’s of present time are getting more attracted towards the electronic gadgets & games this app will surely stimulate their attention and enhance their motor abilities.

Wow! This is so cool!
