Overpass Apps Announces New Interactive eBook

New interactive eBook, Virtual George, has been completed and will be available soon
 
OXFORD, U.K. - Oct. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- Oxford-based app developers, Overpass Apps, have announced the development of a brand new interactive eBook called Virtual George. This marks the commencement of a wider focus on utilising the app platform to create better readable content.

The Virtual George story is based around a boy who plays too many video games and becomes trapped in a virtual world. Users are able to have the eBook read to them and their child, or can alternatively read directly from the app's content. Users are able to play mini-games within the eBook itself. This has been developed by Overpass primarily as a proof of concept, but will shortly be released to some app markets.

Eric Wroolie, owner of Overpass Apps, says; "We're incredibly proud of Virtual George, and we're now actively seeking new clients in a number of different industries to create similar eBooks; specifically the publishing industry. We believe that Overpass can offer revolutionary services in developing interactive and dynamic content to these markets."

In this digital age, content is being consumed in multiple ways. With the Amazon Kindle having revolutionised the book market and made eBooks accessible to all, other devices are now entering the fold to provide similar features. Developing eBooks in the mobile app format enables users to have a much more dynamic experience, including interactivity, real-time updates, gamification, and much more. Traditional sotries can be adapted to incorporate a deeper level of engagement, allowing users to get involved in the tale as it progresses.

This is particularly relevant in the education & non-fiction market, where eBooks can be peppered with interactive tests, revision exercises, and much more. Many of Overpass' apps are based around learning languages, so this is no giant leap for the designers or developers.
