Turning the Pages
Hmm, the idea of being able to turn the pages of the magna carta etc, zoom in on detail is great – should bring history a bit closer for schools for example. But I don’t think it’s done particularly well. Why not a selection of images (think fullscreen 1024!)? Why can I only zoom in on one or two portions? Why have audio that only reads the notes on the screen (briefer notes & detailed transcript?)? And why, oh why isn’t the Da Vinci notebook available?
