MAG+ a Digital Magazine Concept

alt text

Mag+ is a great demonstration of publishing concepts which seem like have been ‘almost here’ for such along time.
They really have the scrolling simplified for a new magazine-like experience. Similar to the iphone app’s detail listing view that works on 2 dimensions. There are lots of other details as well, all trying to improve on the page flip concept that is mimics the print world too much.

Mag+ from Bonnier on Vimeo.

Great deal of attention has been paid to the nature of reading experience while being honest to digital format. But the presentation itself is very impressive on its own. You can read more about BERG and Bonnier R&D “exploring the future of digital magazines”.

    Both of these are far inferior to the Mag+ concept.
    But then there is the OLPC's next concept: http://blog.laptop.org/2009/12/24/xo-3-concept/
