Abstract
This article presents the Virtual Touch Book, a book with special features that is able to interact with a virtual world. Depending on what page the book is opened, the virtual world contents and behaviour are adapted. An experiment on using this technology was carried out at the IES Ernest Lluch high school, involving students on attention to diversity courses and dealing with the theme "Ancient Greece".
