Page Turning Design for 3D Electronic Books

چکیده
Taking the form of physical books, virtual 3D books can be used as basic components of e-book systems, information workspaces, and digital libraries. This paper describes the page turning design of 3Book, a 3D book that we recently developed based on our previous experiences with WebBook. Our design achieves interactive page turning by employing page textures of multiple resolutions at different stages of page turning, solving the scalability problem. By modeling all the faces of the book and synchronizing the movements of various portions of the book during page turning, our design helps to convey the impression of reading or viewing an actual physical book.

Realistic electronic books
We describe a software book model that emulates a range of properties associated with physical books— analog page turning, visual location cues, bookmarks and annotations—and, furthermore, incorporates many advantages of digital environments—hyperlinks, multimedia, full-text search, automatic identification of synonyms, cross-referencing of key terms with an online encyclopedia, and an automati...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
متن کاملAnalysis of 3D Passive Walking Including Turning Motions for the Finite-width Rimless Wheel
The focus of studies in the field of passive walking has often been on straight walking, while less attention has been paid to the field of turning motions. In this paper, the passive motions of a finite width rimless wheel as the simplest 3D model of passive biped walkers was investigated with a focus on turning motions. For this purpose, the hybrid model of the system consisting of continuous...
متن کاملPage turning solutions for musicians: a survey.
Musicians have long been hampered by the challenge in turning sheet music while their hands are occupied playing an instrument. The sight of a human page turner assisting a pianist during a performance, for instance, is not uncommon. This need for a page turning solution is no less acute during practice sessions, which account for the vast majority of playing time. Despite widespread appreciati...
متن کاملPage turning and Image Size in a Digital Music Stand
This paper investigates attributes of the electronic display of sheet music necessary for the development of a digital music stand. We explore the two conflicting goals of minimising page turning effort and maximising the readability of images by conducting two user experiments. In our first experiment participants trialed various page turning methods through a sight-reading exercise, and fille...
