Sony revealed Wonderbook, a physical book that comes to live in your living room using augmented reality technology and the PS Eye.

Some of the examples given by Sony included stories, travelling through an interactive Atlas on the high seas, and learning about science via this new technology.

The first publication for Wonderbook comes from J.K Rowling, called Book of Spells. It allows you to cast spells using the PlayStation Move as your wand.

This^
I think its a fabulous idea for kids, i know plenty of people who would buy this to share the experience with their kids
Yeah it looks great for kids. Its good to see Sony doing something out of the ordinary too :D
In other news, J.K. Rowling must down to her last million, to even look at publishing this shit.

So narrow minded. It shouldn't have taken up so much time of Sonys conference but to say it's shit? to the right audience this looks great.

Granted, and I'm sure for a younger audiance it'll be great, but yes, I do agree they gave it a little too much time. But, to me, shit. :P
Hahahaha once again seems like I'm the only person that got excited over this!

Love my HP and the idea of having it in my lounge room like this really does excite me :D (love)
I loved the idea but god damn they dragged the demo out far longer than they needed to.
Yeah agreed, it certainly went for a long time.

Still quite enjoyable for me. I can see myself nerding out hardcore with that though.

Man, I'm such a kid ^_^
Only thing I see this good for is uncharted maybe!!
I actually thought this part looked pathetic.
