Compiling a single book in hard format will be more expensive than producing an eBook
Producing soft copy is less expensive
Having bulk of pages of hard copy means large amount of weight as well.
Soft copy has no weight.
Hard copy is beneficial in the sense that it is touchable and can be read out easily.
While soft copy sometime requires special software to read and access.
which is not required in case of hard copy. Electricity or any kind of power is necessary for soft copy
Augmented RealityAugmented Reality is simply creating digital media for hardcopy objects using a software on yourcomputer, smartphone or tablet.
The software’s job is to scan the hardcopy image called (trigger image) with the phone camera anddisplay the digital information (overlay media) on screen.
Examples of Augmented Reality of software are: Aurasma, Blippar, Layar, Wikitude, XARMEX, Zapparetc.
Trigger image (hardcopy) Overlay (digital media)
