One of the major benefits of having gadgets is that it constantly connects us to the world and what’s happening in it. Though these technological devices have allowed us to interact with data from anywhere we choose, there isn’t a unique delivery system for the information they’re delivering especially when “news” is concerned. The printed versions of newspapers can offer mobility, much like a device, but access to content can be cumbersome in certain reading situations. How do we combine the affordances of print and online versions of news and translate that hybrid into a single device? A medium that conforms to human practices and the varied scenarios of accessing news.

    The ultimate web browsing experience is a Large Touch Screen and a Web Browser.
    The paper-as-a-screen concept is cumbersome and inflexible.
    It really offers a degraded experience because zooming, and scrolling are not there. And these two functions are just as natural and expected on a screen as folding is to paper.
    Paper is NOT a good screen.

    This concept stretches the traditional newspaper metaphor to its absurd extreme and looks incredibly awkward doing it.

    First, you need to make the argument why printed newspaper layouts are inherently more usable than something specifically formatted for an iPad or a computer screen.

    There is a reason why we don't carry mobile phones shaped like Bell handsets from the 60's.

    is it just me or does this just look like simple motion tracking?

    reminds me on something... cool to see though that other people are making their thoughts about that topic.

    You can be sure as f*** I won't be using this technology to --of all the potential applications-- read newspapers!
