Augmented Reading: ImaginArt Animates Books with Max/MSP

With all the excitement brewing over multi-touch and tablet PCs, it’s great to see a simple, beautiful installation, augmenting paper books with subtle fiducials, letting the book control the technology:

got to disagree here. i love the computer, i use it all the time and it’s a great tool. but the word of the real and the skills needed to survive in it are important and worthy of love too. lets keep telepresence for doing tele things rather than teaching kids that something real right in front of their faces isn’t interesting unless filtered through some sort of electronic gizmo. that project adds nothing to the experience of the book and takes everything important away from it.
