Bringing books to the rural countryside by turning photocopy
shops into print on demand bookstores. They tell coffee shops you will be the
bookstores of the future. They offer a legal means to print books from
reputable publishers. [This to me is the feel good story of the conference. It is like an example straight out of the book Switch]
CartoDB
“A new type of tool for digital, dynamic, data driven story
telling”.
CatroDB works entirely in the cloud and works with a variety of devices. It
makes mashing up data quick and easy. In a handful of minutes you can take
tweets and drop them on a map to visualize locations.
Old weather – a project that took old ships longs with
weather and location data to make it visualized.
Borne Digital
Books that adapt to the reading level of the child. As
children read they can pay attention to how quickly they read and how they
answer questions in order to offer the child the correct reading level. This
data also powers dashboards for parents, teachers, and publishers. These are
digital books that can offer higher prices because they are a better product.
They are adaptive eBooks.
