A Paper Book Type Input Device for Page Navigation in Digital Documents

Abstract

SUMMARYThis paper aims to support quick and easy page access in digital documents. We tried to use a paper book as a device to navigate pages for digital documents. Our proposed system allows the users to perform the same interaction as a paper book such as inserting fingers among pages or folding an edge of the page as a dog-ear. Three experiments were conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system. As a result, we confirmed our proposed system was superior to conventional navigation methods especially in moving back and forth among pages.

An Interactive Hybrid Book Integrating Capacitive, Piezoelectric, and Piezoresistive Polymer‐Based Technologies

“…Following a similar approach, the authors designed another platform where children can explore sounds, called t-words. [21] In Navigation Book, [22] a physical book was used to control a digital book, allowing the user to perform the same intuitive operations that physical books allow to, such as back-and-forth page flipping, randomly opening a page, or bookmarking, among others. The physical book has a quick-response (QR) code in each page, and a camera hanging in a structure over the user that can read the QR code of the opened page, selecting the same page in the digital book.…”
