After a few seconds the user gets access to the book. The first ten pages, you can give absolutely free, after that you will be offered a download edition cheap, or advise the library where you can find the paper version of the work. The authors of this idea were students AD School Ferdi Rodriguez, Keri Tan, Max Pilot. Their program works on the basis of NFC tags, which are equipped with posters with pictures of the roots books.
