Abstract: This paper presents the development of an engaging method for learning numbers via a highly interactive edutainment children storybook based on augmented reality technology and an old folklore story. Augmented Reality (AR) refers to the merging of synthetic sensory information into a user''s perception of a real environment. AR enhances the view of the real world by augmenting the real environment with virtual objects to provide additional information to the users. In the current context of an AR storybook, the view of the physical book (or the real world) is enhanced using virtual objects (3D models, animations, text, and sounds) viewed over a computer display device. This paper describe the development of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) design for providing an augmented reality book enhanced story reading & learning experience. It also highlights the design of an interactive physical book interface design of the augmented reality book. Findings from an initial observational study of the prototype are also presented.
