Projection Mapping-Based Interactive Gimmick Picture Book with Visual Illusion Effects

Abstract

In this study, we proposed an electronic gimmick picture book system based on projection mapping for early childhood education in ordinary households. In our system, the visual effects of pop-up gimmicks in books are electronically reproduced by combining projection mapping, three-dimensional expression, and visual illusion effects. In addition, the proposed projector-camera system can provide children effective interaction experiences, which will have positive effects on their early childhood education. The performance of the proposed system was validated by projection experiments.
