CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Completely transforming the ability to customize children's books, Kabook! today announced its first-ever publishing technology: a platform that seamlessly integrates user-generated photos and text into a collection of high-quality books. While previous technologies simply cut and paste photos,Kabook! literally transforms those photos into illustrations that become part of the story.
Incorporating advanced photo technology and personalized content into stories written and illustrated by leading authors and illustrators, Kabook! has revolutionized the way children can read and imagine. Designed for kids ages 0 to 7, Kabook! offers products that are perfect for gift-givers hoping to quickly create something magical. It also offers book-builders the ability to choose books that engage their children in a magical co-creation experience, where building the book is as much fun as reading it!
Kabook! is the first customized children's book in the world to seamlessly integrate user-uploaded photos from phones and photo libraries, and digitally convert them to look and feel like part of the illustrated story. The patent-pending process uses object recognition technology to extract a child's image, applying a gentle filter to the child and a stronger filter to the background to magically blend the child's likeness into the colorful illustrations. Coupled with text inputs integrated into enriching, world-class content, Kabook! captures the individuality of each child for a magical, meaningful, and personalized reading experience.
"Kabook! is changing the nightly reading experience and solidifying a love of reading," said Bram C. Hall, Founder and CEO of Kabook!. "Our technology helps push the boundaries of imagination. The publishing platform allows families to bond in the creation process, and children can envision themselves in a storyline in a way they never have before - connecting with the reading experience on a truly intimate level."
Kabook! launch titles include Wanted: The Girl/Boy Who Saved the Kingdom, a medieval quest for ages 2-7; Hornswoggled!, a pirate adventure for ages 2-7; and We Hope You Remember, a walk down memory lane for ages 0-5. The List, a festive caper where Santa's list is missing a page, ideal for ages 2-7, is also being released in time for Holiday 2018. Co-creating a Kabook! can take anywhere between 2 to 45 minutes depending on the builder's preferred experience.
