Books have a special place in our hearts. We all grew up with them, and almost everyone has a favorite book. However, digital devices have come to dominate our world, and even some books have gone digital, for example the Kindle ebooks.
Still, ebooks have stalled out along the way. Perhaps, though, Greek start-up AmphiLab has developed a unique solution. AmphiLab has designed traditional books printed with conductive inks that wirelessly connect to digital devices. This enables readers to access digital content by touching “links” or linked buttons printed directly on a book’s paper pages.
Manolis Kelaidis, AmphiLab’s founder, is a mechanical and aeronautical engineer and industrial designer, and he took his training and experience to the bitbook. AmphiLab is now collaborating with the EU H2020 project INNPAPER.
The idea behind INNPAPER is to reduce the amount of discarded electronic devices by developing alternative systems such as paper. INNPAPER’s printed electronic devices include paper batteries, antennas and paper electrochromic displays,
