Alexander’s Bar and Kitchen, owned by Skipton based Peel Entertainment, have enlisted the help of its award winning technology wizardry division, Peel Interactive, to develop an augmented reality (AR) colouring experience for children.
Just launched, the revolutionary app which can be accessed via Alexander’s in-house iPads, will enable children aged three and above to colour in two fantasy characters and then ‘bring their drawings to life’ by activating content that converts them into fully animated, interactive 3D characters. The app also features a fun digital game incorporating the same characters.
Peel Interactive, Yorkshire’s leading augmented reality (AR) developers, developed the app to encourage creativity, stimulate children’s imaginations and provoke discussion between family members.
Said Susannah Daley, managing director of Peel Entertainment, “Peel Interactive is well known for its AR digital experiences, which include everything from an animated ‘horrible histories’ style AR installation at the Parliamentary Education Centre, which brings Churchill and Queen Victoria back to life, to a just launched ‘Giant Adventure’ at The Alnwick Garden – an AR garden trail which enables children to seek out the giant, all his giant belongings and his ‘giant’ woodland friends.
“Utilising Peel Interactive’s skillset to create this children’s colouring app for Alexander’s makes perfect sense, as it enhances our already extensive family friendly offer, which includes school holiday cookery school – Cooking with Noodles, Little Explorers menu and full pram friendly and baby change facilities.”
