At this point I'm just grasping for straws but imagine such an audiobook where the pictures are shown alongside with the audio. Perhaps even using 24 individual drawings per second to mimic motion. Or 30 for Americans.

What if you could influence the story by using some kind of remote? I guess you could call it a "controller"?

Oh, and then you could add a system for buying new clothes for the main character if you don’t like the default ones.

You’re a genius! This new invention is going revolutionize the whole industry.
