The Magazine of the Future
I’ve always been a fan of the magazine reading experience because of the ability to do a “big glance” at content in chunks, with a quick and easy way to navigate through pages. I also like being able to read content on two pages like a magazine or book, and being able to view spreads across two screens instead scrolling through pages one-by-one.
Lifehacker.com recently posted a video about the “Magazine of the Future” showing a new concept device that helps you read content similar to how you read a magazine, but in a more interactive way. Although the concept looks very cool, I’m still concerned about the (near) future of digital reading devices with single displays. Unless you’re reading a digital book, single displays are still very limiting in my opinion, and I’d love to see a real world reading device with dual displays, like the Microsoft “Currier” book PC concept.
Show me a device with the best of these two concepts with a flexible display, and I think we’ve got a winner.
