Sony's 'Wonderbook' makes reading more like TV with PlayStation Eye

The Wonderbook uses augmented reality to turn a physical book into a 3D pop-up book, Sony announced today at its E3 presser.

Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling has contributed Book of Spells to Sony's Wonderbook endeavor, using the Move controller as a wand. Sony demoed Book of Spells, showing off a few spells and features such as earning house points and unlocking poems about unfortunate Hogwarts students. Wonderbook launches this holiday and is one of many books Sony has planned.

Book of Spells will build off of Pottermore, the Harry Potter multimedia social and fan site.

Another title for Wonderbook is Diggs Nightcrawler.
