One of the newest apps to be launched for updated iPhone devices with ARKit support is 'Follow Me Dragon,' which makes it possible to truly care for an imaginary friend that can only be seen through the screen of a mobile device.
With the app, a dragon companion is brought to life through augmented reality. The colorful character is capable of breathing fire, doing tricks and flying. On top of these features, the dragon can also be poked, picked up or pinched to increase or reduce its size.
Kids will also take delight in the fact that with the augmented reality app, they will be able to change the color of their dragon companion's scales to match their favorite color. The cuddly Follow Me Dragon reminds of a plush toy, but in a form that exists only in AR.
