gizmag reporting:
There may indeed come a day when printed books and magazines have
been gone for so long, that nobody cares how little reading a digital
document resembles reading one printed on paper. That day is not yet
here, however - most of us still like our e-reading experience to be as
close as possible to that of reading a book. To that end, this week a
team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
announced the development of new e-reading system, that brings several
book-like capabilities to tablets and smartphones.
Called the Smart E-book System, the "algorithm-based conversion
technology" incorporates the off-screen border area of touchscreen
devices, which is known as the bezel. By placing a finger or thumb on
the bezel then sliding it into the screen (or sliding it off the screen
and onto the bezel), users can do things such as flipping through pages
one at a time, or quickly riffling through whole sheaves of them -
forwards or backwards.
They can also stick a finger on one page to bookmark it, continue
flipping using another finger until they get to a different page that
catches their interest, then cross-reference between the two pages by
virtually folding the stack of intervening pages back and forth.
