»research » reBOOK

In a digital, immersive world, e-book readers and flat displays are taking over what was once the realm of books. The reBook project attempts to revitalize traditional book production by adding a digital interface fabrication step to the conventional print and bind process. A reBook is a fusion of a 'real book' and an e-book; the cover is embedded with a memory module, wireless microprocessor, paper-based keypad, and flexible display. The reBook's coupling of digital content within a familiar design allows for reinterpretation of classic book functionality. We are exploring how new interactions such as search, bookmarking, physical copy and paste, and annotations could emerge with such a product.

This project is currently starting.
