We are a team of students from the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at UNC Chapel Hill.

For our final project for MEJO 588: Emerging Technology, taught by Professor Steven King, we created this concept for an immersive experience that can be modularly added to a young adult novel. Though it is just a concept for now, we are excited about the possibility of similar tech in the future to encourage young people to spend more time reading books and being active outdoors.
