The finger nails might get it the way
"Since creating the physical book isn't the easiest of tasks, it's hard to see how this concept would make its way into the market" once upon a time creating books were challenging task - until Mr Gutenberg show us how to do it right
I admit, at first I wanted to give it a thumbs down and make a silly 'what a waste of time' comment.
But after watching the video I must say there may be something to it actually.
Once this is done on an industrial scale, embedded micro electronics, RF, WIFI or Bluetooth interface instead of a cable. Cost down due to mass production...
This could indeed be useful for all sorts of things.
From an interface for the Blind to school books with interactive examples of problem solutions etc.
Talk about a 'teachers edition'

i was thinking more allong the lines of you buy a book, and it teaches you with examples, and you read the why in the book.
think any collage book
getting smarter without paying for the classes would be very nice and is something id be intrested in.
It's not the medium that matters, it's the message contained within. Get over the fact that books are dying. Not everything needs a white knight to save it from extinction.
It's not about books, it's about the future ways of communicating with digital devices. Not only keyboards, touch screens etc., even natural writing or speech recognition. Computers of the future, when almost everything will be a "computer", are going to understand human behaviour and recat accordingly.
If gotten down to a cheaper medium I could see this work....How to books....School books....For dummies books kids books, either way I give a bravo and 2 thumbs up to the person who made this. Keep thinking outside of the box!

Wow. And this is supposedly a tech writer and tech website??? I think an iPad, a car, a television, a house, a cellphone, etc., are all harder tasks to create from scratch than this project. Yet somehow they are almost ubiquitous. What an uninformed and short sighted opinion.
