| Speakers | Bob Stein: I got bit by the electronic publishing bug in 1979 and haven't looked back since. For the first 15 years i worked on expanding the notion of the page to include rich media. The two companies i founded, Criterion and Voyager, managed a lot of firsts — the first films with commentary tracks and supplementary sections; the first commercially viable cd-rom, The CD Companion to Beethoven's Ninth Symphonyand in 1992, the first electronic books — Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Trilogy and Martin Gardner's Annotated Alice in 1992. In 2004 the Macarthur Foundation gave me a grant to start the Institute for the Future of the Book, a think and do tank exploring the evolution of publishing in the digital era. Currently I'm leading, The Tapestry Project — an ambitious effort to develop a non-linear authoring environment — think HyperCard thirty years on. |
| Abstract | Tapestries is a FREE and completely open source tool enabling anyone (really, anyone) to assemble non-linear multimodal presentations comprised of web pages, PDFs, graphics, audio and video files, and even code running in emulators. Think of Tapestries as a mechanism for exposing the rich store of digital objects stored at WikiMedia Commons, the Internet Archive and Europeana. Tapestries will be debuted at this Conference. |
