(2008) Edutainment with a Mixed Reality Book: A visually augmented illustrative childrens' book. Yokohama, Japan: International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology (ACE 2008), 3-5 Dec 2008.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/2391Recently several researchers have developed augmented reality books which involve overlaying virtual content onto the pages of a real book. In this paper, we extend this general concept by adding virtual visual and auditory enhancements to an already published book. Together with the author and professionals in education we have explored various alternatives of combining virtual and real content, new dedicated interactions techniques, and visual effects to enhance immersion. In this paper we report on the design and development of a new type of ’mixed reality book’. We also summarize user feedback collected during different user trials and demonstrations of the prototype.enuser interfaceaugmented realityelectronic bookConference Contributions - PublishedFields of Research::280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences::280100 Information Systems::280105 Interfaces and presentation (excl. 280104)Fields of Research::280000 Information, Computing and Communication Sciences::280200 Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing::280211 Virtual reality and related simulation
