Technology to choose a story
Smart PJs are pajamas covered with different patterns of dots. Scan a pattern (like a QR code) and it selects a "fun and educational" bedtime story on your smartphone.
Technology to supplement a story
BYOOK offers "snack reading" - short smartphone and tablet reading experiences that "bring books to life with graphics, animation, and sound effects."
Technology to share a story
Kindoma Storytime is an app that combines reading an e-book online with video chat so you can read the same book with someone a world away. It even lets you see what the other person is pointing to.
Are these gimmicks or inspired forays into the new frontier? Or, just maybe, both?
Illustrate and Write On,
Lee
