A ‘living book’ is a book that goes beyond the traditional printed pages and is enhanced with interactive, digital, or multimedia elements to enrich the reading experience. Here are some characteristics of a living book:
- Interactivity: readers can interact with the book, e.g. through clicks, touchscreen input or other forms of user interaction.
- Multimedia content: A living book can contain videos, audio files, animations, 3D models and other multimedia elements that support the story or provide additional information.
- Personalisation: The book can respond to the reader and adapt content based on the reader’s preferences or progress.
- Augmented reality (AR): Some living books use AR technology to integrate virtual elements into the real world when the book is viewed through a mobile device.
- Narrative variations: The story can change based on the reader’s choices, leading to different storylines and endings.
- Real-time updates: Content can be updated in real time to include new information, developments or reader reactions.
These elements turn a traditional book into a dynamic and immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between reading and interactive entertainment.
