Established in 2010, Kappabit has been active in the publishing industry since 2014 through its brand Edizioni Kappabit, producing around forty publications in the fields of contemporary art, Media Art, intermediality, Virtual Reality, cinema, music, education, and non-fiction.
This evolution was supported by the company’s original technological vocation and by the expertise developed over years of activity in the ICT sector, providing analysis, development, and implementation services for customized software and platforms to numerous national and international institutions and organizations.
Kappabit’s key innovation in publishing has been the introduction of QR-Codes within its books, designed to create an “augmented” reading experience through the combined and integrated interaction of multimedia, audiovisual, and musical content. Since 2016, all Edizioni Kappabit titles have been distinguished by the prominent use of QR-Codes.
Each publication includes numerous QR-Codes, transforming what might appear to be a traditional book into a true paper-based hypertext. Beyond the quantitative aspect, there is also a significant qualitative innovation: every QR-Code can be monitored and, if necessary, updated even after printing, through a proprietary platform designed, developed, and managed by Kappabit.
All the expertise acquired in this field has been consolidated under the QR-BOOK brand, officially registered with the Italian Patent and Trademark Office (UIBM) in 2020. |
