The second page

nothing with pages
   The next step in this project is to take it from a thought-provoking display to an interactive tool for learning. By adding thick center-cut pages like those in "Pat the Bunny," the animations can be triggered by turning the page, bringing the text and the visualization together. This increases possibilities for stories, interchangeability, and vocabulary learning for users. But for numerous software, hardware, and (time and resource) management problems near the release date, this feature would've been included in this version.
     
IC, PCB, TLAs

thinner pages
   By taking C:\Bob\Run from the prototype level shown here to small production runs, it will be possible to make it slimmer, lighter, and more child-resistant by using integrated circuits or printed circuit boards. These and other three letter acronym-ed electronics will reduce the cost of C:\Bob\Run and, more importantly, make it more attractive to kids and parents.
