Dalton's New Admissions Viewbook Comes to Life with Video

Applicant families hoping to get a closer look at Dalton before applying, will be happy to know the new Admissions Viewbook now includes video. Dalton's Admissions Viewbook now comes to life in this innovative, new, online version at http://viewbook.dalton.org and available on the Admissions web pages at www.dalton.org/admissions. The publication behaves like a book with a few added button options on the left, thumbnails on the bottom and book-like pages to leaf-through at the center. Users may have experienced this type of page before, but the new sensation is that many photos include a video play button to play topical videos about Dalton - right on the "printed" page. Ah, but there is more...
Viewbook readers, with the print edition (Copies are available to applicants from our Admissions Offices.) who are away from their computers and have a camera ready smart phone or tablet, will find scan-able images that magically come to life with video using Aurasma mobile software. Instructions are located on the inside cover of both versions of the Viewbook and on the video accompanying this story. Basically, the app must first be downloaded and installed from the App Store or Google Play, and the reader must search and "Follow" the Dalton Admissions Viewbook channel.

The videos jump off the page and follow the contour of the paper surface, thanks to Aurasma's clever 3D engineering. They really help shed light on Dalton's many excellent programs and offerings. Admissions Director Babby Krents adds, "Everyone in Admissions is positively giddy over the new living Viewbook.  It's terrific!"
 
Watch the video presented here, to see how Aurasma activates images and displays video magically on the printed page.
