FAQ

1. HOW IT WORKS

In appearance, BookLed is a normal book with thick card pages.

But BookLed is a book made of paper, AI and electronics.

The technological core of the BookLed is a page identification sensor: using a system of magnets, the book is able to recognize which page the user is reading and detect the turning from one page to the next. 

This information, in addition to being used to enrich the book with sound and light effects, is transferred to a Generative AI thus producing a recitation of the content in a thousand different ways.

2. EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS

Interactivity and Engagement: BookLed's light and sound effects capture children's attention, making reading more dynamic and engaging.

Multisensory Learning: Combining traditional reading with visual and auditory stimuli reinforces learning through multiple sensory channels.
