Digilog Book, the next generation publication material, supplies digitalized contents on an analog book by integrating digital contents into existing analog books. There are some studies related to authoring tools which are to authorize, and publish some books which provide digital contents by using VR or AR techniques. In this paper, a pen-type haptic user interface for Digilog Book authoring tool has been introduced. This haptic user interface is developed for more realistic and more effective authoring tasks. This haptic interface provides haptic effects for authoring tasks which are including translation, rotation, scaling, and menu selection. In this research, we designed a body, control circuits, vibration haptic patterns for haptic user interface, and a protocol for between haptic user interface and Digilog Book main control system. Also a simple user study has been done with a developed haptic user interface.

Digilog book using augmented reality is a form that augmented reality is implemented by illuminating the camera embedded in the mobile image on the page registered as an image marker after downloading the application, which shows a fragmentary limitation in the content implementation method. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a pop-up multi-tracking method that enables two-way interaction in a digit log book using augmented reality technology. Through this, we commissioned an authorized agency to test the technical differentiation of augmented reality content for two prototypes of existing book-type Digilog Book and Pop-up-type Digilog Book. A test report was issued. The pop-up type digit log book suggested in this study enables the user to implement the interactive contents according to the user's action (movement). This can induce the interaction between the virtual image and the printed picture book and give the learner an interest and immersion, so that it is possible to express the interaction of the digital log book.

The recent advent of the digital age changes socio-cultural environments. Since the value of technology is moving to the value of culture, new research areas which are the convergence of emotion, knowledge, and technology. These trends enlarge interactive digital multimedia in daily human life. One of them, book, also envolves new concept. Over electronic book, we present digilog book which is fusion of old-media and digital media. In this paper, we define digilog book as a new conceptual media and discuss it in details. Several digilog books are showed as an example and its authoring tool, ARtalet is introduced.

'Digilog Book' dealing with the combination of each advantage of analog sensibility on texts and digital sensation on virtual reality is one of the noble applications of U-book. Based on contents from books, enhancing 3D immersive display enable readers to enjoy various experiences with multisensory feedback provided. Also, 'Digilog Book' provides digitally created stories that would project different experiences and environments interacting users' choices on the interface of the book. This study focuses on developing users friendly implementation tools providing more interaction between digitally generated stories and digitally generated interface so that interaction between virtual reality and actual realty is expanded through simulating contexts and extents. From the application scenario 'Digilog Book' would perform as a storytelling tool with developing subordinated elements such as context structure, screen structure, definition of writing function, writing interface, writing system structure, etc. Therefore, this study would become a significance to direct and indicate the development of writing techniques on virtual reality back to life through digitally augmented reality.

In this paper, we propose layout based multimodal contents authoring tool for Digilog Book. In authoring step, users create a virtual area using mouse or pen-type device and select property of the area repetitively. After finishing authoring step, system recognizes printed page number and generate page layout including areas and property information. Page layout is represented as a scene graph and stored as XML format. Digilog Book viewer loads stored page layout and analyze properties then augment virtual contents or execute functions based on area. Users can author visual and auditory contents easily by using hybrid interface. In AR environment, system provides area templates in order to help creating area. In addition, proposed authoring tool separates page recognition module from page tracking module. So, it is possible to author many pages using only single marker. As a result of experiment, we showed proposed authoring tool has reasonable performance time in AR environment. We expect that proposed authoring tool would be applicable to many fields such as education and publication.

Digilog Book lets users feel analog book and digital contents by combining each advantage of analog sensibility and digital sensation. This paper mentions about technical details for implementing an example of Digilog book: a temple bell experience system. Our system includes providing multisensory feedback to users, substituting fiducial marker with figure marker, presenting visual effect when a temple bell appearing on a 2D plane, pushing augmented buttons using bare fingers for observation of the bell, and lastly pointing a specific part of the bell for obtaining description on that part. The implemented temple bell experience system can motivate users to experience cultural heritages of our country as educational contents.

'Digilog Book' integrates advantages of existing paper book and immersive digital contents in augmented reality environment, which enables users to feel physical touch and get additional multisensory feedback. As a high level authoring user interface, 'ARtalet' provides an intuitive way to make Digilog Book through 3D user interface in augmented reality environment. This paper mentions trajectory inserting and editing methods of 3D objects, then combining method of the trajectory. 3D object is selected by camera tracked prop, and then transformation matrix relative to book plane is stored in real time based on timeframe. The saved trajectory is managed as templates, and user can make various compositions of trajectories. We expect that suggested methods can enhance interest of readers.

A Digilog Book is an augmented reality (AR) based next generation publication supporting both sentimental analog emotions and digitized multi-sensory feedbacks by combining a conventional printed book and digital contents. As a Digilog Book authoring software, ARtalet provides an intuitive authoring environment through 3D user interface in AR environment. In this paper, we suggest ARtalet authoring environment based trajectory editing method to generate and manipulate a movement path of an augmented 3D object on the Digilog Book. Specifically, the translation points of the 3D manipulation prop is examined to determine that the point is a proper control point of a trajectory. Then the interpolation using splines is conducted to reconstruct the trajectory with smoothed form. The dynamic score based selection method is also exploited to effectively select small and dense control points of the trajectory. In an experimental evaluation our method took the same time and generated a similar amount of errors as the usual approach, but reduced the number of control points needed by over 90%. The reduced number of control points can properly reconstruct a movement path and drastically decrease the number of control point selections required for movement path modification. For control manipulation, the task completion time was reduced and there was less hand movement needed than with conventional method. Our method can be applicable to drawing or curve editing method in immersive In-Situ AR based education, game, design, animation, simulation application domains.

We propose Cubical User Interface(CUI) for toy block composition in Augmented Reality. The creation of new object by composing virtual object is able to construct various AR contents effectively. However, existing GUI method requires learning time or is lacking of intuitiveness between act of user and offered interface. In case of AR interfaces, they mainly have been supported one handed operation and it did not consider composition property well. Therefore, the CUI provide tangible cube as the manipulation tool for virtual toy block composition in AR. The tangible cube which is attached multi-markers, magnets, and buttons supports free rotation, combination, and button input. Also, we propose two kinds of two-handed composing interactions based on CUI. First is Screw Driving(SD) method which is possible to free 3-D positioning and second is Block Assembly(BA) method which support visual guidance and is fast and intuitive. We expected that proposed interface can apply as the authoring system for content such as education, entertainment, Digilogbook.
