I'm sure this has already been discussed, and I know this falls under "easier said than done", but you guys should really try to get this on toy aisle shelves. Perhaps in the form of a book? Maybe have a prominent "Try me!" feature on the cover instructing the user to install the free app and point it at the cover to get people pulled in.

Yeah, other companies are working on this too. I think we are in a unique position at this time with what we've developed.

This is a great idea. I could see this becoming a very popular coloring book series. I'd buy it for my kids.

We've been trying to get major publishers interested for over 8 months. Molasses comes to mind.

With the right marketing and execution and a little luck you'll have tons of traction and be in a better position when they come to you to license your tech for their books!
Why would any kid ever want a "plain old" coloring book without the 3D augmented reality?
Very cool—my kids are going to love for sure!
