For children in a hospital setting, distraction is sometimes just as important as treatment. The “Distraction Books” set consists of 10 copies of the interactive children’s book *Fantastic Adventures*.
A traditional picture book that comes to life through a free Augmented Reality app. On every page, children discover interactive elements, exciting worlds, and surprising details. The illustrations respond to movement and touch, making the book both a soothing and stimulating experience.
Perfect for kids who need a break from thinking about their situation.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes digital information such as images, videos, or sounds onto the real world (added reality). Point the camera on your smartphone or tablet at an image and see how the app projects the images into the real world.
In this way, the pages of a book can come to life with moving images and interactive elements that invite children to play and explore. This creates an immersive experience that transforms the way we tell and experience stories.
Fantastic Adventures is all about the magic of reading and discovering together. It’s a moment to truly be together and explore each other’s imaginations. What’s going on inside the mind of your son, daughter, or grandchild? Discover it together with Fantastic Adventures.
This unique book offers four ways to read together, each with its own experience. Follow Josien’s quest to find her friend Axel by tracing the footprints on the pages. Along the way, you’ll come across questions that invite you to pause for a moment and spark your child’s imagination. Like in the dream world: “What would you wish for high above the clouds?”
You can also explore the Augmented Reality (AR) app together, where Josien’s fantasy world comes to life and new adventures await you. Choose to enjoy a quiet moment of wonder, or go on a treasure hunt and discover everything this magical world has to offer.

For Independent or Shared Use

Reusable and Sustainable

For example, you can read the book on your own without using the app, or search for clues together (ages 2 and up). You can read the book together and use the questions in the book to spark the imagination (ages 3 and up). You can explore the AR world together and dive into Josien’s fantasy world (ages 2 and up), and go on a treasure hunt together in Josien’s imagination (ages 5 and up).
