Technology enabled learning and communication are at the crossroads, which need flexible solutions. Flexible learning enables a learner to move seamlessly between the real and virtual world. We propose a novel flexible communication tool, “the smart book” to address these challenges. First, we review the role of the traditional book, its role in society today and the recent advances in augmented reality books. Next, we present a novel approach that integrates digital twins and mixed realities that is useful in communication, learning and for making decisions. We propose an initial vision of the architecture. Finally, we follow the Spiral of Creative Thought to create a first prototype with promising results. Our plan to further develop the architecture is to integrate this spiral with other software development methods. We need further iterations within the spiral to include final users and diverse applications. |
