[QUOTE][B]An augmented-reality app that "translates" grown-up newspapers for children has been developed in Japan.[/B]
The Tokyo Shimbun, one of the country's biggest daily titles, has worked with advertising firm Dentsu to create the AR News software.
It allows children to hold a smartphone over the newspaper to see a child-friendly version of the text.

In a promotional video[/URL], Dentsu said the app could "create a future for the old media newspaper".
"Newspapers were not made for children," the clip said.
"If newspapers became readable to children, they will contribute to family communication and child's education."

One of the better uses for augmented reality that I've seen.

You should have put that down as Sunny Delight.
Before more people misinterpret the article, this is translating the really, really fucking hard to read type of Japanese with a more simplified kind

It's because most Japanese kids don't even know enough kanji to read a news paper until they're in high school.

Today, a man was found guilty in hugging a woman to bed after traces of naughty juice, dirty candy and the squirt gun used was found in his apartment. He is sentenced to timeout for 10 years.
