Wonderbook (Augmented Reality)

I am so impressed with Playstation's Wonderbook. The Wonderbook uses augmented reality in the form of a story book that becomes a game. As the player turns the pages of the book, they see things growing out of the pages on the tv screen. The interaction of the book promotes learning, and can be used for many different forms of education. In this video, we see how the Wonderbook becomes a "spell book" from the world of Harry Potter. As the user interacts, they learn spells that they must later use to duel and pass levels. While, not particularly art, I love the idea of using augmented reality in education. It would be absolutely incredible to use the Wonderbook to learn art history. Instead of simply seeing the picture of a sculpture in a textbook, you would be able to see the 3D image, moving it around to see all angles. It would not only be a more interactive way to learn, but more exciting as well.
