New children\u2019s book combines modern technology and storytelling<\/strong><\/a> — from iwantpop.com by<\/p>\n

\u00a0Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

MONTREAL, April 15, 2014 \/IWANTPOP.COM\/ \u2014 Jonathan Belisle, a Montreal teacher, script writer and web entrepreneur, has developed the ultimate storytelling system. It\u2019s a combination of old and new, traditional mythology and modern technology, a mixture of fantasy and reality.<\/p>\n

Wuxia the Fox is a transmedia project that comes as an illustrated book paired with an iPad app. \u201cThe app reacts to what it hears and sees,\u201d explained Belisle. \u201cAs you read the story, the app adds the music and sound effects, based on where you are in the story and the tone of your voice. It\u2019s the future of children\u2019s books.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The iPad app triggers new scenes of content using image recognition, and transforms into a musical instrument when interacting with small wooden blocks provided with the book.<\/span><\/p>\n
