Mike Matas: A next-generation digital book
by Source
About this talk
Software developer Mike Matas demos the first full-length interactive book for the iPad -- with clever, swipeable video and graphics and some very cool data visualizations to play with. The book is "Our Choice," Al Gore's sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth."
Why you should listen to him:
Mike Matas has worked on some of the most intriguing tech projects of the past 10 years. As a (surprisingly) young coder, he co-founded Delicious Monster, makers of the elegant cataloguing tool Delicious Library. In 2005 he went to work for Apple, where he designed user interfaces and artwork for the iPhone, the iPad and Mac OS X.
Now, he's the co-founder of Push Pop Press, a new digital publishing company. Push Pop's first title is Al Gore's "Our Choice," playable on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
