摘要:In this article, we propose an augmented book cover and a bookmark as means for implicit interaction with a book. Implicit interaction is a style of human-computer interaction, in which a user’s explicit command is not required to control a system. The augmented items sense their state of use by accelerometers and detect page-flipping events. Accumulation of the events is utilized by an application, a Virtual Illustration System, to estimate the current page number. Finally, the number identifies corresponding multimedia contents. Thus, a user reads a book in an ordinal way, and at the same time, her context is implicitly captured and given to an application as an input. The performance of page-flipping detection and the usability of the devices are evaluated. In addition, an evaluation of the interruptive nature of the presentation is carried out using real contents. The performance of the virtual illustration system itself is also tested.
