Augmented reality dragons: Does AR help kids' stories?

What is it about?

After having read James Russell's Dragon Defenders books to our kids we wanted to explore the AR elements to see how they worked so well as a part of these stories.

Why is it important?

Closed Loop Interface Transitioning is useful for AR fiction but, more importantly, it may have some more serious applications in the commercial world where people are trying to get an audience to switch between different devices for different reasons. It may have applications in anything from training and induction, to augmented reality assisted surgery or mechanical development.
