For many parents and children, learning how to draw is a big step. It’s great for the parents because their children are using their mind creatively instead of looking at a smartphone or computer screen.
Kids who love to draw often create the same character over and over. At first, their creation looks a bit like a stick figure doing simple things like running or walking. Soon, though, as children become more skilled in drawing, their figures can do a lot more, like climbing a wall or jumping over a building.
RakugakiAR takes the dreams of kids (or adults) and turns them into reality. To use the application, a person first doodles a character on a piece of paper or a whiteboard. Then, with the RakugakiAR app, people can scan the drawing with their smart device and bring their character to life.
塗鴉 AR 讓孩子（或是成年人）的夢想化身現實（編按：RakugakiAR 的日文原名是 らくがきAR，らくがき 即為「塗鴉」之意）。要使用這款應用軟體，首先要在紙上或白板隨手畫出一個人物。接著透過塗鴉 AR 這套軟體，人們就可以使用智慧型裝置來掃描圖案、讓人物躍然紙上。

Viewed through the app, the character pops up, and it can walk around in an augmented reality environment. People can feed it, poke it, or play with it in whatever way they want. While RakugakiAR is one of the first of its kind, augmented reality is a technology that will probably take the world by storm very soon.
塗鴉 AR（RakugakiAR）這款運用擴增實境的 app 能讓你的 2D 平面人物瞬間轉化為 3D 立體圖像，玩法也相當容易上手。只要透過手機鏡頭掃描平面的人物或動物塗鴉，就能讓它們活了過來，還可以與之互動或餵食。自己所畫的圖案能活生生在眼前亂跑亂跳，可說是相當療癒，因此塗鴉 AR 在日本網民間瞬間爆紅。妙的是，無論是在筆記本、白板等任何地方繪畫，只要邊緣有黑色線條，掃描後大多都可以轉換為立體玩偶。這款 app 賦予畫作生命，能透過智慧型手機引導使用者進入 AR 空間，所以非常建議爸媽們使用。小孩子在聆聽父母說故事時，若能與書中人物互動，便可以大大提升聽故事的趣味性，因此更加融入劇情。
