Abstract

The development of augmented reality (AR) technologies and their applications in education and training have caught much attention in many fields. Visual-based presentation of AR provides the valuable augmented information to encourage thinking and analysing. Applied in electronic picture books, AR permits intuitive interactions for perceiving visual contents in the stories. With the AR interface, children can interact with the AR object and gain enjoyment from the electronic reading experiences. Towards this aim, the project explores mobile augmented reality applied in electronic picture books. Electronic stories in Picture Book Database from National Library of Public Information are used as reading contents. Children are provided with an intuitive access to e-stories by scanning images with their mobile devices.
