Holy Cow. This Is How E-Readers Should Actually Work

Topics: , , , , , , ,

If you’ve thought that the iPad experience is good enough, you haven’t seen this new take on touch screen navigation. Thanks to KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), we see the glaring omissions left by Apple and other touchscreen UI designers when they were building the touch interface.

Currently, navigating an e-reader is nothing like a book. It may seem like it at this point, but wait until you see the amazing new features in this fresh take on e-reader interaction. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Apple bought this technology and had it in the next evolution of iOS.

This is amazing- definitely creates a more realistic reading experience for those who miss the touch and feel of a "real" bound book. With the new iPad coming out next month, it will be interesting to see if it includes a similar interface. Wonder if the KAIST audio emits the sound of pages flipping as well? :)
