Description

"Book Through" is an experimental endeavor aimed at exploring the realm of books, book culture, community, and offering readers an alternative way to indulge in the diverse and enriching landscape of literature.
Led by a team of interdisciplinary design-entrepreneurs, the project commenced with a thorough examination of the existing challenges within the book community in Hong Kong.

Through extensive user shadowing and in-depth interviews, the team identified several significant obstacles hindering an enjoyable reading experience, including fragmentation of reading resources, disconnection among readers, and limited literary interests. In light of these findings, the team took the initiative to develop a digital platform that promotes sustainable reading habits.

By incorporating habit data visualisation, information sharing, and other functions within a gamification framework, the team aims to act as a catalyst for the future development of the book community.
