Method and system for delivery of immersive content over communication networks

A computer-implemented system of providing content to a user via communications between a content provider and a user over a plurality of disparate transmission channels, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a computer-readable memory encoded with instructions for the one or more processors to execute steps that include:
• providing content to the user via a first transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels for presentation, wherein the first transmission channel is an e-book transmission channel, wherein pre-defined metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content, wherein the content is displayed using a first presentation system;
• when the content event trigger is reached, providing supplemental content to the user via a second transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels by making a call to the user via telephony, sending a text message to the user, sending an instant message to the user, or sending electronic-mail to the user, wherein the supplemental content is provided to the user during continued presentation of the content via the first transmission channel, wherein the supplemental content is provided to the user using a content providing system that is wholly separate from the first presentation system, wherein the event trigger is a user accessing a page associated with the event trigger;
• wherein a receiving system is configured to receive a response from the user, wherein, when a response is received from the user, the response from the user triggers a transformation of the content.

A computer-readable memory encoded with instructions for commanding a data processor to execute a method, said method comprising:

• providing content to the user via a first transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels for presentation, wherein the first transmission channel is an e-book transmission channel, wherein pre-defined metadata associated with the content identifies a content event trigger at a point in the content, wherein the content is displayed using a first presentation system;
• when the content event trigger is reached, providing supplemental content to the user via a second transmission channel in the plurality of disparate transmission channels by making a call to the user via telephony, sending a text message to the user, sending an instant message to the user, or sending electronic-mail to the user, wherein the supplemental content is provided to the user during continued presentation of the content via the first transmission channel, wherein the supplemental content is provided to the user using a content providing system that is wholly separate from the first presentation system, wherein the event trigger is a user accessing a page associated with the event trigger;
• wherein a receiving system is configured to receive a response from the user, wherein, when a response is received from the user, the response from the user triggers a transformation of the content.
