What started out as a gift for my niece on her 1st Birthday has turned into the final product you see today. I saw firsthand how much my niece enjoyed this illustrated book and I couldn't resist bringing these lovable characters to life through animation!

But I didn't stop there.

As a child, I would imagine the characters of my favourite books moving from page to page; they were alive, but only in my imagination. That changed when I discovered Augmented Reality. Finally, I could make these characters appear to move directly on the pages of this book — right before my eyes! With the help of AR, my childhood dream has now become a reality. Experience it for yourself!

My niece can’t wait to watch the animated video of Daisy as we flip through the pages of My Deer Friend together. I see the joy and laughter this book brings her and I only wish for other children to experience it too.

Interested? Then please order a copy of My Deer Friend or share this with a dear friend of your own.

Thank you for your support. This story has just begun...
