A month ago we reported on Vidya Books and its Kickstarter campaign to develop interactive books for kids. The books combine the experience of gaming with the world of reading, similar to the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books, but experienced via an iPad/iPhone app.
Fast forward to today: Vidya Books has met its Kickstarter goal, but the campaign doesn’t end until Monday. So, the team is planning a final open house event to demonstrate the technology and hopefully meet a stretch goal as well.
Any additional funds contributed to the campaign this weekend will support the development of multiple versions of the same book at different reading levels. That way, kids who are a bit behind their friends can still read (and experience) the book.
The open house will be held tomorrow, Saturday April 13th from 3pm-6pm at 1632 3rd Ave W. If you’re interested, feel free to stop by and check out the technology for yourself. For any questions, contact Anna Booth via email or at 425.922.4820.
