SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING AUGMENTED REALITY TO PRINTED BOOKS

摘要

An augmented reality system that provides multi-media presentations super-imposed on and presented with a standard printed book. An user electronic appliance, possessing a display screen, a camera, and a software application, takes an image of a printed page. A unique visual identifier is associated with each page. A multi-media presentation, including a video component, an audio component, and, optionally, a haptic component, is associated with unique visual identifier. When the software application detects a printed page, it creates the unique visual identifier and transmits it to a remote server and database. The remote server and database transmits the multi-media presentation, in return. The user electronic appliance plays and presents the multi-media presentation.
