This is what happens today with augmented reality applications, through which the \u2018real\u2019 space comes alive with objects and content that are visible thanks to state-of-the-art optical devices \u2013 such as hololens for augmented reality. However, it is easy to see how this same characteristic can also be found in the past, in all those paper media featuring sophisticated technologies (Modena, 2022; Pinotti, 2021).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emersivity also calls into question themes and problems of the history of science, of books and of reading: the need to understand, study and communicate natural phenomena stimulated the overcoming of the two-dimensionality of the printed page, proposing technical challenges that lead to challenge and transform the relationship with the book, based on tangible interaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fourth session of the itinerant seminary series convened by Elisa Marazzi and Ilaria Ampollini, Ferrara, Ariostea Library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":245,"featured_media":2649,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[50,52,53,51],"class_list":["post-2640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-book-history","tag-history-of-anatomy","tag-history-of-science","tag-pop-up-books"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2640"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/245"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2640"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2640\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2653,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2640\/revisions\/2653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2640"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2640"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centroclio.unimi.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
