BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - An Indiana University professor is helping develop iPad applications that allow readers to interact with William Shakespeare's plays.
IU associate English professor Ellen MacKay collaborated with South Bend-based Luminary Digital Media on the lecture stream for "The Tempest" and will direct the app for "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
The apps allow for social reading, annotation and sharing. Each text is accompanied by expert commentaries and features full-length, scrolling audio performances by the Actors From the London Stage company. It can be customized and annotated by the user.
The app also links directly to illustrations, podcasts, teaching materials and videos from the Folger Shakespeare Library.
The "Tempest" app is available for download on iTunes. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is expected to be released during the 2012-13 academic year.
