With iBooks Author, books come alive with a tap, swipe, or pinch.
Take a look at all the ways a book can become an experience.
HTML Modules
Apple’s widget creation tool, Dashcode, is built into iBooks Author. So it’s easy to create HTML widgets that appear as objects alongside the text. Web-based, dynamically updated data keeps examples current.
Keynote Presentations
Let readers browse Keynote presentations with custom animations — right inside their textbooks. iBooks Author includes intuitive controls for slide navigation and optional self-playing presentations.
Interactive Images
Pictures go further when they’re interactive. Callouts and pan-and-zoom features add even more to the experience.
Interactive Galleries
Instead of seeing just one image on the page, readers can swipe through an entire collection of interactive photos and captions with a finger. They can navigate the gallery using photo thumbnails or step through images one at a time.
3D Images
Readers can manipulate 3D objects with a touch. So instead of seeing just a cross section of the brain, they can manipulate a 3D image to see all the way around it. iBooks Author gives book creators the option to adjust the background, allow readers to rotate the object freely, or constrain its movement to horizontal or vertical rotation.
Media
Video and audio bring any subject matter to life, anywhere on the page. Readers will experience text and images — instead of just reading and viewing them. Movies can play automatically, and iBooks Author allows any frame of a movie to be the poster frame.
Chapter Reviews
Let readers test their knowledge using a variety of question types: multiple choice, choose the correct image, label the image, or a mix of all three. Authors can include six possible answers to each question.
