PAPERCUT - Enhanced Reading Experience app for iPhone and iPad

PAPERCUT is an experimental enhanced reading experience for iPad. It includes three short stories by world famous authors Richard Beard, Nadifa Mohamed and Laura Dockrill. It transforms simple prose into an interactive, multi-sensory reading experience, automatically triggering relevant video, animation, image sequences and sound content, enhancing the narrative. The reader can simply and elegantly scroll through a truly interactive experience with seamless swipes.

ustwo™, in collaboration with Shortfire Press, is making available works from three leading British authors - novelist and non-fiction writer Richard Beards James Joyce, EFL Teacher, award winning Nadifa Mohameds Summer in the City and poet and illustrator Laura Dockrills Topple.

"PAPERCUT is an innovative and interactive way to tell stories. For writers its the first glimpse of how writing skills and technology can come together to create a new art-form," commented novelist, non-fiction writer and Director of the National Academy of Writing in London, Richard Beard. "I loved working on my story with ustwo™. Weve produced a story like no other Ive ever written."
