Abstract

Recently popular media, book, has problems to satisfy a child who wants to be a character in a story, because it just transmits fixed story. Therefore, many people are interested in interactive contents that are changed variously by user's acting in multimedia division. This paper introduces an interactive pop-up book system that can control a story of book by interesting interactivity. This system suggests a special story graph that transforms a linear architecture story to a interactive story by traversing diverse node. We focus to make a special pop-up book interface and wind blowing interface for physical environments to have interesting and familiar user interaction, and to conclude by user studies. We also investigated user preference for various interactive story paths, so we can exclude unnecessary stories and surveyed to compare before the excluding and after. Finally, story paths that user prefers are introduced in the Interactive Popup Book System. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
