We’re seeing more and more of these augmented reality ideas to enhance traditional books. Like this Demo of Total Immersion’s Augmented Reality enhancement to a book on dragons by Templar Publishing
It’s hard to say which direction this will go: epaper, smartphones, augmented reality glasses. I definitely prefer tech like this to cheap and toxic disposable electronics embedded in books.
What do you think? Do we love books because they are low tech and prefer to keep them that way or are they overdue for an overhaul? Does tech like this enhance our children’s imagination or diminish it?
