Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteYour ideas were similar to mine, but after thinking about it more yesterday, wouldn't it be cool if they could combine the concepts of the Nook with hologram simulations? That way when the kids read the material, they can also see visual images of the characters and scenes. Maybe the device has a tracking system in it where it tracks where their position of their eyes to the text, and then projects images for that part of the story. What do you think?
Sorry, I meant Aretha! I am trying to get everything completed before I have to take my girls to play in a softball tourney, and my head is a little out of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay Krista. Those were some nice ideas. Nintendo has created a 3D DSi, so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for that to be a next move for the Nook. These days, you do need to be a step above the competition.
