The bbook concept by Subin Kim, Yujeong Shin, and Seungyeon Lee brings fairy tales and other fictional books to a new way of interpretation. These are often rooted around bright and fantastical visuals so it can be a challenge for those who are visually impaired.
bbook is an electronic 3D book concept that provides children with all of the tools they need to experience the visuals as much as they can. It also has an audio feature that will read the content out loud with large tactile buttons. These prompt controls of fast-forward components, backward, or skipping if they so choose. The book also has a Braille page where the dots will rise and sink as the words alter.
