AR technology is being used to help to encourage children to make smarter eating choices.

Encouraging kids to eat their vegetables can be a challenging activity for parents and other child guardians, but a new effort using augmented reality technology has now been designed to help in this effort.

The use of technology through smartphones may hold the answer to making healthful eating more appealing.

A company called Powerful Plants is now providing fun and educational options that are designed to help to show kids that they can eat in a way that promotes a healthy body, while having a good time and enjoying themselves. This company goes above and beyond the simple sale of products that are interesting to kids. The packaging for those products is enhanced with augmented reality technology to help to make things even more exciting.

When viewed through an augmented reality app, the packets show vegetable characters that appear to come to life.

The Powerful Plants products, themselves, are seed packets that give kids what they need to be able to grow their own veggies in their own containers or backyards. Each packet comes with a character printed on it. When viewed through an AR mobile app, the cartoon character appears to come to life, moving around and talking.

The AR cartoon character provides the child with a number of fun facts about the specific type of plant that they will be growing, and that they will one day be eating. This provides the child with an education about the plant and the healthy food, in a way that is fascinating and fun for the0The combination of education and mobile technology has been increasing in popularity. Equally, a growing number of toys have been including mobile features as well as augmented reality, with companies including large brands and tiny one-product businesses working the tech into their offerings. In the case of Powerful Plants, they have managed to use this opportunity for both education and for play in order to make sure that the kid has fun, but will also take important information with them that will hopefully promote nutritious eating throughout their lifetimes.

Selfies of decorated nails have become popular and AR technology has now been added to improve them.

The applications of augmented reality have been everything from useful to clever and from quirky to gimmicky, and a new form of this technology has been incorporated into press-on nails to help to enhance selfies taken of the people who wear them…and to add some fun to the style.

A company with several global locations has now embedded AR holograms into their stick on nails.

The company is called Metaverse Makeovers, and it has locations in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Melbourne. It offers stick-on nail decals that have holograms embedded into them. Those decals not only display interesting three dimensional designs, but they also work with a mobile device to display images through augmented reality. The nails work with the company’s custom mobile app and allow wearers to create different AR tech based experiences to display through the nail art in real time.

The video for the company’s augmented reality nails is Sailor Moon inspired, making their target market clear.

The teen market is the primary focus, and there is no mystery why, as that demographic is the most connected with their smartphones and is the most comfortable and interested in trying out new ways to incorporate digital experiences into their lives, through mobile devices.

It looks as though the AR technology nails are not yet available for purchase, but the company has recently received an investment from donors in Melbourne, for $750,000, and it intends to feature this beauty product on February 15 at the Australian Center for Moving Image.

Additionally, there will be a live stream demo of the product on that same day. The intention os to show “performance installations” from various nail bars that are located in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Melbourne. This suggests that it may not be long after that, that the product will become available for purchase.

These augmented reality nail decals are going to be sold through the Chinese retailer, Taobao, in an experience that is somewhat comparable to the marketplace shopping at Amazon or eBay.
