Items of content may be organized into branched portions. From a current portion of an item of content, a branch may be selected, and the portion of the item of content connected by the selected branch to the current portion of the item of content may be conveyed. In this respect, multiple paths through the item of content may be achieved, each path including one or more portions connected to each other by one or more branches.

A talking book with a screen includes an interactive book that allows a user to press on a page and have words read aloud and a screen which is able to be used in conjunction with the talking book. The screen is able to be embedded with the talking book, or the screen is a separate device such as a tablet. The screen is able to play videos and provide other interactivity with the talking book.

A capacitive gesture recognition book includes a plurality of capacitive sensors concealed in a base cover of the book. The capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance brought on by a finger of a user coming in proximity with the capacitive sensor. A processor located in the base cover includes a plurality of capacitive activation sequences and a plurality of corresponding responses stored therein. Upon detection of a stored capacitive activation sequence, the processor initiates activation of the corresponding response which may be playback of an audio file. The book includes a plurality of pages that contain graphics and/or words for a storyline. The graphics can include images intended to direct a user of a desired motion to be made that corresponds with activation of sensors in a manner stored as a capacitive activation sequence.

This document describes a storytelling device. The storytelling device includes electronic output components, such as light sources, speakers, a video projector, or a display. The storytelling device is configured to establish an electronic connection with an interactive book, and to receive book data and sensor data from the interactive book via the electronic connection. Then, based on the sensor data and the book data, the storytelling device controls electronic output components, at the storytelling device and/or the interactive book, to provide story enhancement effects that are correlated to the interactive book.

This document describes an interactive book. The interactive book includes sensors, electronic output components, and a memory that maintains book data. The sensors and the electronic output components are integrated into the book itself, such as within physical pages of the interactive book. The interactive book is configured to establish an electronic connection with a storytelling device. When the electronic connection is established, book data and sensor data is communicated from the interactive book to the storytelling device. The storytelling device controls electronic output components, at the interactive book and/or at the storytelling device, to provide story enhancement effects that are correlated to the interactive book.

Disclosed are techniques and systems to provide a narration of a text in multiple different voices. In some aspects, systems and methods described herein can include receiving a user-based selection of a first portion of words in a document where the document has a pre-associated first voice model and overwriting the association of the first voice model, by the one or more computers, with a second voice model for the first portion of words.

Provided is a method of providing the play order and add-on of e-book. The method of providing a play order and add-on of an e-book, which is executed in a viewer for playing an e-book that is a digital work described according to a certain order, include: playing an e-book in accordance with a provided play order information regardless of the order of the e-book itself as the viewer is provided with the play order information.

A control device includes: a first storage device storing a dither matrix of two-dimensionally arranged dither values; a second storage device storing data of a-gradation levels; a first correction device that performs a first correction processing of calculating a first correction value for correcting gradation blurring-out from the target pixel to an adjacent pixel; a second correction device that performs a second correction processing of calculating a second correction value for correcting gradation blurring-in from the adjacent pixel to the target pixel; and a gradation value deciding device that decides a gradation value of the target pixel expressed in the b-gradation levels by using a value obtained by adding a corresponding one of the dither values stored in the first storage device, a corresponding one of the gradation values stored in the second storage device and at least one of the first correction value and the second correction value.

A system for generating and displaying holographic visual aids associated with a story to an end user of a head-mounted display device while the end user is reading the story or perceiving the story being read aloud is described. The story may be embodied within a reading object (e.g., a book) in which words of the story may be displayed to the end user. The holographic visual aids may include a predefined character animation that is synchronized to a portion of the story corresponding with the character being animated. A reading pace of a portion of the story may be used to control the playback speed of the predefined character animation in real-time such that the character is perceived to be lip-syncing the story being read aloud. In some cases, an existing book without predetermined AR tags may be augmented with holographic visual aids.

An audiovisual recording of a user reading a book aloud is generated for playback with a virtual book. A book reading user interface presents a virtual book concurrently with a current image of the user. The virtual book may be presented based at least in part on an aspect ratio of the virtual book. As the user reads the virtual book aloud, an audiovisual recording of the user is generated. In addition, synchronization information is recorded that enables the audiovisual recording to be synchronized with the presentation of pages of the virtual book during playback. The generated audiovisual recording is stored in a database and may be played back to a recipient on demand.
