Digital publication app
Encyclopedia
Digital Publication Apps are software applications used to deliver branded business communications and content. Typically designed for tablet
platforms, Digital Publication Apps tend to incorporate elements of rich media (such as high quality video, photos, three-dimensional models, audio) and, when built for Apple’s iPad
platform, support the various user navigation capabilities of the iPad
such as touch, swipe, and gesture support. Certain Digital Publication Apps also make use of the iPad’s accelerometer
and gyroscope
to affect navigation through physical user movement.
Digital Publication Apps vary in their specific purpose and execution and are typically designed to present a look and style consistent with the identity of a particular brand. Design and construction activities for Digital Publication Apps are typically carried out by firms that specialize in this area or, less commonly, completed in-house.

Accelerometer
An accelerometer is a device that measures proper acceleration, also called the four-acceleration. This is not necessarily the same as the coordinate acceleration , but is rather the type of acceleration associated with the phenomenon of weight experienced by a test mass that resides in the frame...
