Multimedia presentation functionalities for comic documents

Abstract

This paper proposes a multimedia presentation for comic/cartoon documents. An effective use of electronic presentation media instead of the conventional paper media can make comic/cartoon documents much more impressive and active. The following presentation elements for comic/cartoon documents are proposed and their presentation effects are studied: a) successive display of frames, b) time-variant frame position, c) time-variant frame size, d) time-variant balloon characters (e.g., successive display, running, time-variant font size and typeface, etc.), e) color changing, and f) synchronization with BGM.
