Immersive reading is the new trend in publishing
Think of Virtual Reality or watching a 3D movie. You are fully involved in the activity. Immersive reading is something similar: the reader is completely focused and absorbed into the story, at his or her own pace, by using innovative technologies.
But to allow readers enjoy immersive experiences, specific tools and applications are needed. The Möbius Project has developed the Creator, a web application browser-based that allows writers and publishers to transform their narratives into immersive reading experiences with a digital approach. We would love you to try it, and that’s why we are glad to invite you to register to the online workshop “Test with us the Möbius Creator” on the 3rd of October at 11:00h CET.
A Prosumers Intelligence Toolkit, a Mobile Book Box, and much more at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023
However, the Creator isn’t the only tool that the Möbius Project has launched: the Prosumers Intelligence Toolkit (PIT) is another one. In the form of a data dashboard that gathers fanfiction insights collected from prosumer online fandom communities such as Archive of Our Own (AO3), the PIT aims to give publishers new insights about their IPs, popular genres, etc. If you are around the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023, you can join the Möbius Prosumer Intelligence Toolkit (PIT) Workshop on the 20th of October at 11:00h in the Room Encounter, Hall 5.0.
The Frankfurt Book Fair is the most important international trade fair for publishing and content. Experts from global publishing meet partners from the technology industry and related creative industries such as film and games. It is celebrated from the 18th to the 22nd of October, and the Möbius Project has decided to celebrate its Closing Event there, with the following activities, besides the PIT workshop:
- Presentation of project results – Wednesday 18th, 14:00h-14:50h – Aldus Up Stage, Hall 4.1.
- Möbius Policy Event and Get-together – Thursday 19th, 11:00h-13:00h – Room Good Will, Hall 4.1.
- Möbius booth and Möbius Mobile Book Box – Wednesday 18th to Sunday 22nd, all day – Hall 4.1, H25 and H33.
The Möbius Innovative Applications, also at LIBER Madrid 2023
Before travelling to Frankfurt, the Möbius Project will be in Madrid, at the international book fair LIBER, from the 4th to the 6th of October, in Ifema. We would love to see you pop by our booth 14H07 to tell you more about Möbius.
You will also have the opportunity to test the Möbius Innovative Applications for publishers and writers and to discover the Möbius Book Experience with Virtual Reality.
Some lucky ones could enjoy it in the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2023 in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago, where Möbius joined forces with the Next Generation Media projects to showcase European innovation in the sector: COPA EUROPE, MediaVerse and STADIEM.
Möbius keeps modernizing the European book publishing industry by remodeling the traditional value chains and business models uncovering the prosumers potential and delivering new enriched media experiences.
