Digital Textbook Hardware and Software Capabilities and Feature Sets

Web Philosophy Community Group,

It is my opinion that there should be a versioning hardware features description, capabilities description, feature set description, abstractly, for digital textbook hardware in American public schools (for example resembling DirectX or OpenGL) which describe software and hardware features and capabilities to software developers.

It is my opinion that digital textbook hardware should have 3D graphics capabilities by the 2015 - 2016 schoolyear.

The digital books industry wants to, in theory, maximize the sales of digital books to as wide a number of digital book reading hardware and software as possible.  On the digital textbook topic, however, there exist scientists, technologists, and educators who want to have minimum feature sets described by the 2015 - 2016 schoolyear, for example with regard to multimedia and 3D graphics.  Beyond the rendering of interactive 3D graphics, 3D graphics cards are increasingly utilized when rendering other components of modern digital documents.

We can consider and discuss processes by which to have precise and versioning industry standards, hardware capabilities and features sets, for digital textbook hardware and software; minimal feature sets to clarify for digital textbook authoring teams the features that digital textbook hardware and reading software are expected to have by the 2015 - 2016 schoolyear and each subsequent schoolyear.



Kind regards,
