ARtalet: Tangible User Interface Based Immersive Augmented Reality Authoring Tool for Digilog Book

Abstract

A Digilog Book is an augmented reality (AR) based next generation publication supporting both sentimental analog emotions and immersive digital contents to improve a user's experience. This paper enhances the Digilog Book authoring tool, ARtalet. This is a tangible user interface based immersive AR authoring tool providing an intuitive non-programming based authoring methods using a 3D user interface in an AR environment. As novel authoring functions, we propose 3D object trajectory manipulation, real-time deformation, and audio/vibration feedback authoring functions to enhance a user's experience and interest. The ARtalet can be applicable to other Digilog application authoring, including posters, pictures, newspapers, and sign boards.
