Abstract

Throughout 2009 we have seen a number of technology trends that according to the views of most analysts will have a greater role in 2010. Growth and centralization of social networks, the explosion (and future decline?) of communication and real-time search, the proliferation of cloud services, SaaS and virtualization, the emergence of social software applied to Enterprise 2.0, the growing OS war in the cloud, increased internet access using mobile devices, and the emergence of other technologies at home and away, from 3D to augmented reality. Finally, we consider whether we’ll see in 2010 the beginning of the “death of the website concept”.

Abstract

Traditionally, the book uses text, pictures, and drawings to show information. To complement the information, various methods have been used, such as adding tangible objects or models. With the advent of digital books, it is possible to incorporate videos, interactive graphics, photo galleries, and 3D objects. This article describes the possibilities of including 3D models in books that are paper or electronic (read on a desktop or mobile device). For this article we have made several book prototypes in various formats, and instructions are presented so that the reader can visualize the 3D objects contained in them.
