Apple's digital textbook project is inspired by Al Gore's 'Our Choice' iOS e-book and codenamed 'Bliss', according to AppleInsider.
A source contacted the site indicating that Internet software chief Eddy Cue is responsible for the distribution side of initiative and Roger Rosner is in charge of development of the editor used to create digital textbooks.
The person said the internal code-name for the project is "Bliss," and said the software will allow publishers to make textbooks more interactive.
One of the primary sources of inspiration for the project was said to be an e-book released by former U.S. vice president and Apple board member Al Gore. Last year, he and Push Pop Press released "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis" on the iOS App Store, and the interactive title was met with a great deal of praise.
You can check out the Our Choice e-Book app in the video below. Apple's education event will be held tomorrow in NYC.
