What do the iPad and Minority Report have in common?

Live Magazine Covers on the iPad

So, I ordered an iPad — I’m still not sure if I’m going to keep the order, or cancel it.

But, I saw a link to the video below about a “live” (well somewhat live) magazine cover mockup for the iPad. And I immediately though about the advertisements and magazines in movies like Minority Report.

Live Magazine Covers on the iPad

Some articles have focused on the interaction aspects between the iPad as a step towards those in Minority Report, but what struck me by the video was where once static content (or, shudder, advertising) might go in the near future.

Many magazines that have been print-only since their existence now have the opportunity to immerse their readers in interactive video, sound, and motion.

Here’s a video of the advertising in Minority Report.
