3-D Earth

The "3D" series combines DK's classic reference approach with cutting edge augmented reality technology to create an incredible interactive experience! Lighthearted, enticing, and fun, the text in each book is packed with information to give a comprehensive overview of the subject. But there's more!

Using the magic of augmented reality, these animations are superimposed on a live image of the book and its actual surroundings, making it appear as if they're really in the room with you-a miracle of modern technology that has to be seen to be believed. "3D Earth" is filled with incredible 3D animations that literally leap right off the page! Experience a whole new dimension of the Earth through the magic of augmented-reality technology! The amazing complexity of the Earth comes alive with breathtaking colour photographs and up to the minute research while 3D animations molten lava, rising volcanoes, and more come to life before your eyes.
