TV animation interactively controlled by the viewer through input above a book page

摘要

A video system enables the operator to repeatedly touch a study object to change the action according to dramatics or game on a video display. A educational embodiment enables that student to touch the page of a printed book and effect multiple types of video response, selected on page by a student, educating the student of the meaning of the point in the printed text or graphics touched. A similar embodiment provides a solid object the student touches to effect multiple animations. Multiplexed workbooks and monitors enable the teacher's writing or drawing in workbook to be displayed on all, or selected, monitors. Questioning by the animation or in the workbook is answered by touching designated areas in the multiplexed workbooks to select an answer, which is timed, graded, and recorded for the teacher's reference. The animation responds to the student answers. Animation location coordinates coded in the tracks of recorded video images are compared to player and instrument position coordinates obtained by ultrasonic detection.
