A Book that Knows When It's Read

A Book that Knows When It's Read

Something new has emerged on the market, as it always happens in this area because of the fact that everyday IT engineers use IT Support and do their best to develop IT services and IT products in order to make life easier and more fascinating. So, the future of eBook readers might be text that knows it's being read. The product is called Text 2.0 and it was made by Ralf Biedert from the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence.

"People talk about the end of the mouse and the keyboard, but that's not necessary, they're perfect at what they do. Technology like Text 2.0 makes the computer smarter and more empathic. It's a way of giving authors, or maybe a new type of artist, additional tools to create an entirely new type of book," said Biedert. Text 2.0 has something that is called an eye tracker and which monitors a reader's progress across the page. The software might find its way to eBook readers, or devices such as Apple's iPad.
