Students Design a Better Page Flip Experience for the iPad
Wow, students from the KAIST Institute of Information Technology Convergence have done a beautiful job redesigning the page flip for the Apple iPad, and in the process they have created a real page turner – pardon the pun.
The students created an interface that mimics how a person would flip through pages of a physical book along with a few other tricks. The result is simply amazing and creates a very elegant user experience.
The prototype allows you to easily scan multiple pages at a time, control how many pages are turned by gestures or speed, and the ability to thumb the edge of the pages to quickly flip through a book – much like you would do in the physical world.
To see it in action check out the video below. This really deserves to become a feature on the Apple iPad and other tablet devices.
