iExplore
The iExplore augmented reality book series from Carlton Books is one of the most immersive augmeneted reality books I have used so far! They have other titles like iStorm, iDinosaur, iRobot and many more! I was able to purchase the iExplore "Bugs" book and I was completly engaged. You do have to download a free app to use in conjunction with the book. I have also seen these books on the scholastic book fair list!
