Surfing the Internet from a Printed Book

Somatic Digital Touch User Interface (TUI)Somatic Digital has a product called Touch User Interface (TUI), effectively a book containing paper pages, that interacts with other Internet-enabled devices.

Imagine sitting at Starbucks, opening up a fashion catalog, pressing on the photo of a purse, and watching the product video come up on your iPaq!

When someone presses the pictures and words on the printed ink and paper TUI page, it sends out a command to your PC, laptop, phone, or whatever Internet-connected device you're using, to retrieve a file, and display it on that device. It's a book that acts like an Internet remote control.

Somatic Digital already has some publishing partners, and is looking for more.
