This project is an e-picture book designed for touch screen devices (e.g.the iPad).

We developed the user navigation program/contents by Java to make scrolling
in all directions possible by making the user psychologically scroll in
certain directions, indicated by illustrated images with visual effects.
By scrolling and following several illustrations indicating the next
direction, the user can experience the story.
With animated illustrations that indicate different directions
sequentially, the e-picture book becomes more complicated and enjoyable.

We made an experiment using illustrations of "Hokusai Manga"
The story of this e-picture book by Negar Kaghazchi is about a character (the
cloudy lady) with hair made of cloud who lives in sky and protects a lake
from dehydrating.
