Hide & Seek - Inventing new kinds of play. _Curriculum_Framework_Feb03.pdf (application/pdf-object) Henry Jenkins. The iPad is supposed to assist the world in reinventing books, helping to move us from our paper pages to a future of touch screen enabled pixels.
But while Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, and others battle on that front, some developers are taking an entirely different approach. The iPad application “The Little Mermaid and Other Stories by H. C. Andersen” is a vigorous reinterpretation of classic children’s stories that melds wonderful scripting, interactive layouts, dramatic physics-enabled special effects, and the iPad’s brilliant screen to amazing effect. The experience is mesmerizing for even the most jaded adult.
