Abstract

In this paper, we described a media for helping children understand content, called Interactive e-Hon. It works by transforming text into an easily understandable storybook style with animation and dialogue. In this system, easy-to-understand content is created by a semantic tag generator through natural language processing, an animation generator using an animation archive and animation tables, a dialogue generator using semantic tag information, and a story generator. Through our experiment, we have shown that this method of transmitting visual images with verbal information is effective for promoting understanding.
