Bridging book

Abstract

In the video we present the Bridging Book, a mixed media picturebook that blurs the line between physical and electronic books. We present also the technical implementation of the prototype. In this prototype the illustrations of a children picture book are complemented by the digital content on a digital tablet placed next to it. Thumbing through the physical book pages displays synchronized content on the tablet. The narrative contents can be explored by reading the physical book and further exploring the interaction on the digital media. The physical book requires no batteries or wires.
