THE INTELLIGENT LIBRARY BOOKMARK
“Doubling as a standard book marker, the device also incorporates a navigational system giving turn by turn directions through the library. To assist the user in remembering loan durations, the bookmark also keeps track of the borrowed books and reminds the user of the return dates” (Toout, 2015).Photo courtesy of Toout

FINGERLINK – Turns Print into Touch Screens"We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn't use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology” (Fujitsu,2013).Photo courtesy of Fujitsu

SENSORY FICTION “It’s called Sensory Fiction. By using a set of connected sensors, the author can play with “new means of conveying plot, mood, and emotion while still allowing space for the reader’s imagination” (Kowalczyk, 2015).
