Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design and the prototype implementation of a virtual illustration system. An ordinal book is augmented to provide a reader with value added experiences while keeping the original sense of utilization intact, e.g. a texture of paper. Multimedia information is automatically presented based on the page s/he is reading. The electronic version of a book is not needed. Anyone can create and share contents like posting a book review on a blog. Two types of add-on devices for page-flipping detection have been investigated, where a book cover and a bookmark with two 3-axes accelerometers have been augmented. A preliminary usability test shows the concept mostly preferred. The accuracy of flipping detection for a book cover and a bookmark version is 88.1% and 92.5%, respectively.
