La Rueda Copenhague. Disney's Magical Flashlight Brings Kids' Books To Life. Maybe being the dad of a toddler makes me overly skeptical of "enhanced" or "augmented" children’s books and toys, but I’m usually unimpressed with efforts to future-ify an experience that seems to work just as fine now as it did when Goodnight Moon was first written 66 years ago.

Disney's Magical Flashlight Brings Kids' Books To Life

Okay, now I’m impressed: A smartphone-sized handheld projector, surprisingly enough, looks like just the right kind of "extra" to add a bit of genuine magic to the experience of reading stories to your kid. What I love about HideOut is the un-fussiness of this interaction: There’s no app to launch, no requirement of peering at the "augmentations" through the keyhole of a screen.
