Abstract: A system is described for displaying images of a virtual three-dimensional book having one or more virtual pages. The system comprises a display system capable of executing a display program wherein images of the virtual three-dimensional book are produced on the display system. The display system may include a folding function, whereby a segment of a virtual page is displayed as at least partially folding backward form a surface of the display system. Additionally, based on one or more search terms, the display system may include an indexing function for creating a customized index and/or a table of contents function for creating a customized table of contents. Moreover, a dynamic bookmark function may be provided for displaying one or more dynamic bookmarks to a virtual three-dimensional book. Also disclosed is a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for producing images of a virtual three-dimensional book.

Abstract: A system is described for displaying images of a virtual three-dimensional book having one or more virtual pages. The system comprises a display system capable of executing a display program wherein images of the virtual three-dimensional book are produced on the display system. A degree of interest (DOI) function is provided for allocating available space on the display system. A page selection function may provide a user-selectable scale along a long axis of the virtual book for selecting virtual pages. Virtual chapter tabs may also be provided for navigating within the virtual book. The display system may also include a page flipping function with several different page flipping speeds and several different page flipping animations for moving between virtual pages in the virtual book. Moreover, a scroll bar function provided to facilitate page navigation wherein space on the scroll bar is allocated using a DOI function. Finally, a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for producing images of a virtual three-dimensional book is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system is described for displaying images of a virtual three-dimensional book having one or more virtual pages. The system comprises a display system capable of executing a display program wherein images of the virtual three-dimensional book are produced on the display system. The display system may include a magnification function producing a virtual magnifier moveable over the virtual pages. The display system may also include a the “stretchy page” display method wherein one section of the page is directly magnified, while other adjacent sections may be directly magnified in a horizontal or vertical direction, but not both directions. Moreover, a virtual page may also be tilted about a central axis of the virtual page to accommodate viewing of a desired section on the display system. Finally, a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for producing images of a virtual three-dimensional book is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic medium is a new form of publication for a source material, such as a book. The medium includes information about features of the source material and features of secondary information related to the source material. The medium can be used with a visualization system. With the system, a user is provided with tools that respond to the user's needs and requests at a level of the collection, rather than just with a single work.
