LP Readspace
Read full descriptionHide full description
LP Readspace is a reading app that supports Living Popups' reading companion overlays without the need for a physical, printed book. It's ideal for taking on trips or other times when carrying books and a device are impractical. As you read the book, pages with a popup overlay are simply marked and the reader just needs to hit the button to activate! Once the popup starts, the face of the screen falls back and the reader is entered into a 3D environment where they control the camera. You can zoom in and out as well as tilt to see the playback from many angles. Scattered throughout the store, there are also interactive questions to help the reader understand the story and increase comprehension. Start the app, pick your book, get caught up in the wonderful story and invite the characters to drop in, pop up and help you understand and enjoy what's going on!
