ZooBurst creates interactive, 3D pop-up books. In addition to this, it can also be viewed in Augmented Reality mode with the help of a webcam. After printed a special paper from the ZooBurst site, the webcam captures you and "projects" your pop-up book onto the paper you are holding. While this technology is fledgling and not without its major flaws, it is still quite fun to play with, and really lends nicely to the concept of a 3D pop-up book.
Holding my "book" in Augmented RealityI made a tutorial my students when it comes time for them to start their own ZooBursts. Feel free to download and use it in your own classroom!

How did you get your teachers picts into zooburst without a background? Did you take them into photoshop?
Why don't the entire sentences show?Is there a character limit on the narrative?
Hi Carol,
Lots of good questions!
I took the teacher pictures and then edited out the backgrounds using Photoshop Elements. By saving them as a png file, I was able to keep the transparent background without losing any resolution (which sometimes happens if an image is saved as a .gif).
The words written underneath each page can be expanded and viewed in full by clicking on the green center arrow. I don't know if there is a limit for each page, but I agree that only showing the first sentence is a bit strange.
Thanks for reading my blog! If you end up using ZooBurst, I'd love to hear about it!
