BookLed

BookLed is a paper book with integrated electronics, designed to experiment new ways of storytelling using Generative AI. With a BookLed, Python code, and an OpenAI account, you can explore the world of AI storytelling starting from the pages of a paper book!

BookLed is an innovative hardcover paper book that merges traditional reading with generative AI and electronic hardware. Equipped with a page identification sensor, it recognizes the page being read and uses magnets to detect page turns, enabling interactive sound and light effects. This data is also sent to a generative AI, creating unique storytelling experiences. Designed for both DIY enthusiasts with Python skills and a child-friendly version for families and educators, BookLed enhances reading with multisensory engagement, making it ideal for parents, teachers, and schools. Available now for makers and launching in 2025 for general audiences, it redefines storytelling by blending paper books with cutting-edge technology.
