This paperdefines the main concepts of the augmented reality technology and children’spublications, expounds the importance of the application of augmented realitytechnology in children’s publications, analyzes and summarizes the differencesbetween the augmented reality technology and virtual reality technology. At the sametime, this paper also compares the advantages and disadvantages of traditionalpublications with augmented reality publications. On this basis, combined with thechildren’s education and children’s psychological characteristics, with digital scriptlanguage,3D construction model and interavtive animation technology, anaugmented reality children’ pop-up book has been designed and realized.This study is a useful attempt to apply augmented reality technology to children’s publications, boosting the application of augmented reality technology inchildren’s publications. It is a meaningful expolration to advance the traditionalpaper publications in digital era and with digital technology.
