Abstract

We present an initial prototype to extend a reading tablet for haptic feedback -with a surface vibration transducer. This, in order to transform literature into a multimodal reading experience. In this augmented literature, the text provides its reader with verbal information, while other senses perceive context through non-verbal cues. We use our own framework to design this storytelling across senses integrating text, sound, animation and tactile sensation. The intention is to develop a multimodal storytelling that enhances the readers imagination, improving the reading experience. In this way, we believe, readers will completely immerse into the narrative and enjoy reading more.
