HOLOGRAPHIC STORY TELLING
First Claim
1. A method for generating and displaying holographic visual aids associated with a work of literature, comprising:
- identifying a reading object within a reading distance of a mobile device;
acquiring a first virtual object associated with the reading object, the first virtual object is associated with a first triggering event;
detecting a portion of the reading object being read by an end user of the mobile device;
determining whether the first triggering event has been satisfied based on the detecting a portion of the reading object being read;
determining a reading pace associated with the portion of the reading object read by the end user in response to the first triggering event being satisfied;
generating a holographic animation associated with the first virtual object based on the reading pace; and
displaying at the mobile device the holographic animation.

Abstract
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.

1. A method for generating and displaying holographic visual aids associated with a work of literature, comprising:
-
identifying a reading object within a reading distance of a mobile device; acquiring a first virtual object associated with the reading object, the first virtual object is associated with a first triggering event; detecting a portion of the reading object being read by an end user of the mobile device; determining whether the first triggering event has been satisfied based on the detecting a portion of the reading object being read; determining a reading pace associated with the portion of the reading object read by the end user in response to the first triggering event being satisfied; generating a holographic animation associated with the first virtual object based on the reading pace; and displaying at the mobile device the holographic animation. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. One or more storage devices containing processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method for generating and displaying holographic visual aids associated with a work of literature comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring a user profile associated with an end user of a mobile device, the user profile includes a virtual object viewing history; and identifying a reading object within a viewing distance of the mobile device; acquiring one or more virtual objects associated with the reading object, the one or more virtual objects include a first set of virtual objects associated with a first triggering event; detecting a first utterance spoken by a particular person reading from the reading object; determining whether the first triggering event has been satisfied based on the detecting a first utterance; determining a reading pace associated with the first utterance in response to the first triggering event being satisfied; determining a first virtual object of the first set of virtual objects based on the virtual object viewing history; generating a holographic animation associated with the first virtual object based on the reading pace; and displaying at the mobile device the holographic animation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
