A Preliminary System Framework for 'SilGam' Book

Abstract

‘Sil-Gam’ Book is a book that can provide readers with realistic or abstract experiences of contents through the virtual or augmented reality technology while he/she reads an analog book. In order to listen to or touch the realistic contents in ‘Sil-Gam’ Book, we propose a preliminary system framework of hardware and software systems for ‘Sil-Gam’ Book through which users can haptically interact with virtual contents. In this framework, we define a ‘Sil-Gam’ Book and design a hardware configuration and software architecture. In addition, we present two exemplary scenarios for using this book in science education.
