The UAE’s Sharjah Book Authority Launches a ‘Virtual Reality Book’

A new age of reading has begun in the United Arab Emirates with the launch of the world’s first reality book by the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA). This is part of its campaign to promote the eighth edition of the 2016 Sharjah Children’s Reading Festival.

The SBA selected Baba Zayed — a book originally published by Kalimat – as the first title to be produced using elements of virtual reality technology.
