[11D-04] E-picture book using multi-directional scrolling and illustrations with visual guidance

○Negar Kaghazchi¹, Sachiko Kodama¹, Masakatsu Kaneko¹ (1.The University of Electro-Communications )

This project is an e-picture book designed for touch screen devices (e.g. the iPad). We developed the user navigation program/contents in Java to make scrolling in all directions possible by making the user scroll in certain directions, indicated by illustrated images with visual effects. By scrolling and following several illustrations indicating the next direction, the user can experience the story. With animated illustrations that indicate different directions sequentially, the e-picture book becomes more complicated and enjoyable. We made an experiment using illustrations of "Hokusai Manga". The story of this e-picture book that is originally written by Negar Kaghazchi is about a character (the cloudy lady) with hair made of cloud that lives in sky and protects a lake from dehydrating.
