Abstract

A deep reading machine and method are disclosed in which a written language document may be transformed into a computer delivered kinetic framework of four dimensional rendered language. By removing the constraints of normal language reading, the machine and method create a watching, journey experience of gathering language in a multi-dimensional format. Using the machine and method, a reader comprehends language in an interactive, immersive and perceptually enjoyable reading experience.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for transforming original written documents into a total reading medium, the method comprising:

receiving an original written document by the computer;

computationally redefining the received document into associated metadata taking into consideration the semantic, syntactical, lexical, and grammatical structures of the original document to create a perceptual framework suitable for presentation in a full three dimensional architecture; and

generating a reading medium for the original written document based on the metadata.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein redefining the received document further comprises generating a plurality of layers of the original language content within the metadata by spatially organizing events in one of color, size, kinetic attributes and time durations to provide new language attributes.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising interactively navigating the reading medium.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein interactively navigating the reading medium further comprises using an interactive control to navigate the reading medium.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the interactive control further comprises one of a touch, a gesture, a game controller, a mouse, a voice command, an eye movement, and external data input through sensor data collection.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein interactively navigating the reading medium further comprises one of speeding up the flow of words and slowing down the flow of words in the presentation.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein computationally redefining the received document further comprises applying a geometry characteristic to a lexeme in the received document.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein applying the geometric characteristic further comprising separating dialog in the received document from narration using the geometric pattern.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein applying the geometric characteristic further comprising separating a dialog of a character from the dialog of a second character in the received document.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein separating the dialogs further comprises applying one of color, texture and kinetic properties to distinguish the dialogs.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein applying the geometric characteristic further comprises applying the geometric characteristic to identity a beginning of a sentence and an end of the sentence in the received document.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein identifying the beginning and end of the sentence further comprises applying one or more of a spatial attribute and a rate of travel attribute to identify the beginning and end of the sentence in the received document.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the metadata further comprises one of an atmospheric attribute and a mood setting attribute.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising providing atmospheric controls based on the atmospheric attribute.

15. The method of claim 1 further comprising inserting a bookmark to save a location in the received document.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising selecting the inserted bookmark to return to the location in the received document and return a setting of a reading engine to the setting when the bookmark was inserted.

17. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving sensory data to modify the presentation.

18. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving three dimensional spatial data to modify the presentation.

19. The method of claim 1, wherein computationally redefining the received document further comprises generating a plurality of levels of the metadata.

20. The method of claim 1 further comprising navigating between the plurality of layers.

21. An apparatus comprising:

a computer system having a processor and a memory;

the processor configured to receive an original written document;

the processor configured to computationally redefine the received document into associated metadata taking into consideration the semantic, syntactical, lexical, and grammatical structures of the original document to create a perceptual framework suitable for presentation in a full three dimensional architecture; and

the processor configured to generate a reading medium for the original written document based on the metadata.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to generate a plurality of layers of the original language content within the metadata by spatially organizing events in one of color, size, kinetic attributes and time durations to provide new language attributes.

23. The apparatus of claim 21 further comprising an interactive control connected to the computer system to navigate the reading medium.

24. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein the interactive control further comprises one of a touch, a gesture, a game controller, a mouse, a voice command, an eye movement, and external data input through sensor data collection.

25. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to apply a geometry characteristic to a lexeme in the received document.

26. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the processor is configured to separate dialog in the received document from narration using the geometric pattern.

27. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the processor is configured to separate a dialog of a character from the dialog of a second character in the received document.

28. The apparatus of claim 27, wherein the processor is configured to apply one of color, texture and kinetic properties to distinguish the dialogs.

29. The apparatus of claim 25, wherein the processor is configured to apply the geometric characteristic to identity a beginning of a sentence and an end of the sentence in the received document.

30. The apparatus of claim 29, wherein the processor is configured to apply one or more of a spatial attribute and a rate of travel attribute to identify the beginning and end of the sentence in the received document.

31. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the metadata further comprises one of an atmospheric attribute and a mood setting attribute.

32. The apparatus of claim 31 further comprising atmospheric controls based on the atmospheric attribute.

33. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to insert a bookmark to save a location in the received document.

34. The apparatus of claim 33, wherein the processor is configured to select the inserted bookmark to return to the location in the received document and return a setting of a reading engine to the setting when the bookmark was inserted.

35. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to receive sensory data to modify the presentation.

36. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to receive three dimensional spatial data to modify the presentation.

37. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to generate a plurality of levels of the metadata.

38. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the processor is configured to navigate between the plurality of layers.
