ReadMe - The future of reading in a digitally enhanced world
2 likes3,840 views
The document discusses potential future directions for reading experiences. It envisions books that are more than just paper, being alive through interactive and adaptive elements. Readers could be active participants through social sharing, unique personalized experiences, or reading alongside artificial intelligence. Reading may become fragmented across various platforms or quantified and tracked. Exploration through immersive narratives and real world integration are also possibilities. The document provides numerous examples of projects exploring these emerging forms of reading.
