ustwo™ has just announced PAPERCUT, an enhanced reading app for iPad. Download it here itunes.apple.com The app provides a new way for authors and publishers to reach and excite audiences and immerse them in their content. To celebrate the launch ustwo, in collaboration with Shortfire Press, is making available works from three leading British authors to showcase – novelist and non-fiction writer Richard Beard, award winning Nadifa Mohamed and poet and illustrator Laura Dockrill. PAPERCUT transforms simple prose into an interactive, multi-sensory reading experience. Content within the app presents short passages of text at a time and triggers relevant video, animation, image sequences and sound content related to the narrative. Moving away from the text heavy, standard page turn functionality, the reader can simply and elegantly scroll through a true interactive experience with seamless swipes.

Fuck yeah! Takes some serious swagger to pull off those ridiculous glasses and grandma’s old pearl necklace, not to mention the traditionally difficult 50/50 all-hair-on-bottom haircut. Nuff respect.

Yep, very Nathan Barleyeque. : )
It’s not entirely clear what ‘Papercut’ actually is – it appears to be no more than an interactive story, much like the interactive stories that have been around for the past decade (at least).
