The Virtualibros (Virtual books) project, developed by LinkTeve and Crea, recently won a prize in the TIC Americas 2010 competition that took place in Lima, Peru, in early June.
From a total of 1,200 projects, only 7 were selected to represent the American continent in TIC GLOBAL, a similar competition that includes projects from all over the world and will take place in Taiwan in August this year.
Virtualibros received the Tradition and Culture award by proposing a new way of learning based on Edutainment (education + entertainment) with a product that merges conventional books with computers (or cell phones) using the Augmented Reality technology. The result is a digital interactive book that provides access to 3D contents and videos displayed on the screen and that illustrate the book that is being read. “The Wizard of Words” is the first Virtualibros and it’s aimed for children aged 4 to 6. The character is a friendly wizard who teaches children about letters and word spelling.
The Wizard of Words will be launched in 2011 and is one of the three developments of the CreaKids platforms along with a virtual ecological world (Eh! Conejo) and a 360º TV show (XO Por Favor) especially produced for XO computers.
