Powered by PopIris™ from Ideal Binary, Grimm’s Rumpelstiltskin defines a new standard for entertainment - interactive 3D pop-up books. Says Aidan Doolan, Ideal Binary co-founder: “Our new PopIris technology allows us to create compelling, interactive experiences that are presented in a highly dynamic way on the pages of our 3D eBooks.” He continues, “Rumpelstiltskin is the first in a series of books based on this technology. We are able to rapidly develop content using the technology, so you can expect to see additional releases over the coming months.”

A significant development of Ideal Binary’s original 3D Bookshelf™ application, at the core of the PopIris™ toolset lies a proprietary high performance 3D eBook engine. Using cutting edge techniques PopIris™ can produce a convincing 3D simulation of a real book, while also integrating highly interactive 3D scenes, allowing the reader experience the underlying story in an incredibly immersive way.
