Stories Leap into 3D with ‘Augmented Reality’ Coloring Books
Disney’s research team has created an app that will turn color book characters into 3D figures. The team has designed it to scan the page of one of the coloring books using the device’s camera and change it from a two dimensional drawing into a 3D character. As color is added to the drawing, it applies the same color to the drawing on the screen. So far, the app has been a success but has yet to be tried with kids.
This relates to emerging technology because it is the new upcoming thing that is advancing technology around us. For a long time coloring has been an old thing that kids do but lately has been becoming outdated with technology growing around us.

The most interesting thing I found in this article is that Disney is literally turning drawings into characters that can move and look 3D on a computer screen.
