The app provides a new way for authors and publishers to reach and
excite audiences and immerse them in their content. To celebrate the
launch ustwo, in collaboration with Shortfire Press, is making
available works from three leading British authors to showcase –
novelist and non-fiction writer Richard Beard, award winning Nadifa
Mohamed and poet and illustrator Laura Dockrill.
PAPERCUT transforms simple prose into an interactive, multi-sensory
reading experience. Content within the app presents short passages of
text at a time and triggers relevant video, animation, image sequences
and sound content related to the narrative. Moving away from the text
heavy, standard page turn functionality, the reader can simply and
elegantly scroll through a true interactive experience with seamless
swipes.”
