Augmented Interactive Book Production Skills

Abstract:



In today's digital age, books are no longer just printed pages; they have evolved into a multimedia-rich interactive experience. This is where the concept of the Augmented Interactive Book (AIB) comes into play, blending traditional written content with interactive digital elements such as audio, video, animation, hyperlinks, and even augmented reality (AR). This development opens up vast opportunities in the fields of education, entertainment, and publishing.

Producing this type of book requires a unique set of skills that go beyond traditional writing and design. Producers need a deep understanding of how to seamlessly integrate these diverse elements to create an integrated and engaging user experience. These skills include, but are not limited to, the ability to write engaging content suitable for digital screens, design intuitive and interactive user interfaces, edit and produce multimedia, understand user experience (UX) principles, and work with specialized digital publishing tools and software.

This type of book aims to enrich the reader's experience, transforming reading from a passive process into an active and enjoyable interaction. By mastering the skills of producing an augmented interactive book, we can contribute to shaping the future of learning and knowledge, and provide content that meets the aspirations of new generations seeking innovative and immersive educational and entertainment experiences.

Therefore, the current study highlights the skills of producing an augmented interactive book, including skills specific to the preparation phase, skills specific to the design phase, skills specific to the enhancement phase, and skills specific to theproduction phase.
