A Forest In My Pocket is a magical, augmented reality adventure for children.

Created by illustrator and animator Helena Papageorgiou and narrated by Mischa Long, A Forest In My Pocket leads kids and families on a trail of discovery to find magic in their homes and little worlds in their backyards.

Print-at-home images come to life via augmented reality using smartphone app, EyeJack. Simply download the series of three images below, place them around the house and have the EyeJack app ready to guide your children through this exciting adventure.

This experience is designed to be child-led, with help from the parents to set up the prints and technology.

In the first animation, the children will meet a little character, Morio, who will speak directly to your child and give them instructions for various tasks and activities around the home.

Here is a step by step guide to setting up this activity for your child.
