| With the growth
of the Internet, there has been a rapid digitization
of information. However, despite the variety in
e-books, multimedia and communication tools available
online, the lay user has been reluctant to give
up the comfort of conventional reading material
like books and newspapers for e-books and online-newspapers. |
| |
| Today, the researcher,
the student, the novel-enthusiast and the next-door
neighbor who sits down to read the Sunday newspaper
have one thing in common: they all want information,
and they want it now. The student who visits the
library cannot easily access information about his
study material, and he needs to locate different
sources of information before he can continue. A
woman reading a newspaper may want older items related
to an article in the newspaper, but for this, she
must access a PC and start a tedious search. |

| The solution?
KiA |
| KiA offers a
fusion of the ever-connected world of the Internet
and the nostalgic comfort of the classic book. Applicable
to a wide domain of users, it has the potential
to become the tool of the future. KiA’s focus
is on process and usability, more than pure utility,
and its design is streamlined to enrich the daily
activities of the user. |
| |
| The design of
this product has its foundations in precision and
usability. How easily can a user get his or her
job done? What is the quickest and most comfortable
way to interface with the device? These are some
of the questions that KiA attempts to find solutions
to. KiA can be extended to far more domains than
those mentioned here. As far as utility is concerned,
the sky is the limit. |
