From Gaming Sites to Wallpaper Calculators and Online Shopping
Dallas, TX, December 4, 2001 -- The first completely interactive books are now available to connect readers directly to Web pages deep in the Internet. Digital:Convergence, the leading provider of precision Internet navigation services, today released its first eight titles of Cue Books, small printed booklets, each containing one hundred direct connections to relevant Web pages. Cue Books are filled with printed "Cues," Digital:Convergence''s proprietary printed codes that link a Web browser to a designated URL, regardless of character length.
The Cue Book titles include: Online Shopping Made Easy, 100 Games on the Internet for Kids, 100 Games on the Internet, Deskside Reference Guide, My Web Library, and Home Improvement on the Internet. Any of Digital:Convergence''s :CueCat, mobile Key:Cat and Cross :Convergence devices can read the Cue Books, instantly linking the user''s browser to a related Web page. This eliminates the input of lengthy URLs and time-intensive Web navigation. Additionally, the devices can read almost any product code (e.g. UPC, ISBN, EAN), making it instantly interactive with the Internet.
As an example: In the Deskside Reference Guide, one swipe and you will learn the Bengali word for Cat is biRAI; the flag of Burkina Faso is red and green with a yellow star; or that 72 degrees Celsius equates to 161 degrees Fahrenheit. The book''s 100 references include dictionaries, thesaurus, calculators, atlas library, and language translators. All of this is in a booklet about the size of a compact disc case.
