Thesis Statement

Scroll Through Space is a convenient, accessible way to enjoy and experience reading without carrying around a paper book. This amazing new way to read will expand the options for where people take a book and how people read. Scroll Through Space takes a traditional e-reader and makes it more compact through a rolling screen. This creates a way to easily carry around a few hundred books in the users back pocket. The e-reader extends from a scroll device and when the user is done using it, it rolls back up automatically. This makes a easily accessible yet compact device. In addition to portability, tools such as haptic feedback, gifs, smell dispensers and changing temperatures were utilized to create a more exciting and immersive reading experience.
