Adobe and Wired Introduce a New Digital Magazine Experience
Adobe and WIRED Magazine unveil a new digital magazine experience. Developed with Conde Nast, this prototype runs across different device types with Adobe AIR and illustrates the possibilities for magazine publishers to reach readers in new ways.| Clipped from: Introducing a New Digital Magazine Experience - Adobe Digital Publishing |
[...] The concept enables — in digital form — the immersive content experience magazines are known for, and allows new interactive features to stimulate reader engagement, including:
- content designed specifically for the touch screen experience
- easy navigation methods, including an innovative zoomed-out "Browse Mode"
- the ability to browse image slideshows
- embedded 360 degree object viewers
- support for video and audio content
- the ability to rotate content using device accelerometer functionality

Although the Wired Reader starts as an AIR app, Adobe has created tools that allow us to easily convert it for major tablet and mobile platforms. In Barcelona this week, Adobe announced that AIR would run on Android, and Adobe has already announced its Packager for iPhone tool that will allow Flash apps (including AIR) to run on Apple mobile platforms. And AIR already runs natively on Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.
But enough of the technical details. The point here is that we are entering a new era of media, where we finally have a digital platform that allows us to retain all the rich visual features of high-gloss print, from lavish design to glorious photography, while augmenting it with video, animations, additional content and full interactivity. We’re one of the first magazines to go beyond the concept stage with this, and the demo we showed at TED and in the above video reflects months of real tablet production as we prepare to go live this summer.
