WATCH: Olivia Wilde’s Talking Glamour Cover

by Verena von Pfetten | 4:08 pm, May 18th, 2011


The future is here. The June cover of Glamour magazine can actually talk. On an iPad. But still! It (as in Olivia Wilde) talks and moves and invites you somewhat saucily to take a look!

It’s definitely cool and speaks to an untold amount of other opportunities — we love the idea of a cover which morphs into the actual cover profile and actively speaks to you — but we’re also a little creeped out. Because the magazine is talking to us.

You can buy the iPad issue for $1.99 or a yearly subscription for $19.99. No word on whether every cover is a guaranteed talker.

Take a look and tell us what you think:

    An iPad is a form of computer. Though, I guess they did it without flash.

    The real trick will be when someone affordably combines the E-Ink Esquire used to produce their 2008 cover with one of those chips used in talking greeting cards and a motion sensor to cause the cover model to beckon from the store rack, as a consumer strolls past. If nothing else, I’m sure Playboy could use it to drive sales.
