Not Lost in the Universe, is an interactive storybook series for the Apple iPad.
Interface3 a Scottish mobile game specialist today announced that they have partnered with independent Edinburgh film and animation studio Ko Lik Films to create a series named Not Lost in the Universe. Not Lost in the Universe is an interactive childrens storybook series for the Apple iPad.
“Not Lost in the Universe is an exciting project which sits at the forefront of cross-platform storytelling,” said Jess Connell, writer at Ko Lik. “Working with Interface3 we are able to combine award-winning game design and development with award-winning writing and animation.”
The iPad allows you to carry out lots of different tasks, including reading, playing games, watching films, etc. This is a medium which allows reading and game playing to intertwine.
The idea with the book series is to teach children about science, engineering and technology.
Unlike a book with text and pictures, that may not captivate and ignite a childrens imagination, this new format could infact help a child to remember, and being on a piece of technology like the iPad will help reinforce the idea of what the series is about.
Kate Ho, Managing Director of Interface3 said: “Very few companies achieve the right balance of education and entertainment. Our hope is that with the Not Lost project, we can use our knowledge and creative talents to produce the next-generation education storybook app.”
The first book will be announced in Autumn 2012, with it set to release in late November 2012.
