A new dimension to digital reading

See what
you’re reading.

Some ideas are easier to understand when you can see them. Turn a highlighted passage into a diagram, map or animation — right inside the text.

An interactive prototype. A reader-led approach.

Stay in the story.
Make room for understanding.

A visual layer that follows the reader’s curiosity. You choose the passage; the context stays on the page.

01 / SELECT

Start with a passage.

Highlight the description you want to understand — a process, a place, a relationship.

02 / VISUALISE

Give the idea a shape.

The method pairs the passage with a suitable visual form, from a diagram to a map.

03 / KEEP READING

Keep your train of thought.

Explore the visual inline, then return to the text without switching tabs.
