No doubt such features will be coming to eReaders. We
can use augmented reality to bring such features to
printed books.
"Dad, how can you read this? It has no pictures!?"
"It doesn't? Let's see if we can confirm that. Let's look
carefully through my smartphone's camera. Check this
out,
look at this cool picture of the elves sword fighting!"
"Wow, that's way cool. Hey Dad, how come that elf girl
has
such big boobies?"
"Son, go back to your home work".

With some kind of advanced image-recognition software,
the device used could recognize the words on the page and
produced aug-real illustration for virtually any print
media. Open-source software (or the appropriate app)
would allow those with the
know-how to create their own custom illustration for
various books, which they could share via something akin
to YooToob 'channels'. Using an aug-real enabled device,
be it a smartphone, tablet, or the lightweight HUD visors
we all know are coming, paper-and-ink media could be
rejuvinated as a contemporary medium. I hope. [+] |

Of course, I have only the barest semblance of an idea of
what I'm talking about. |

that would be on the ambitious side. I have come up
with the linked idea some time ago, that I think is
starting to be possible. |

If a thing's worth imagining, it's worth imagining all the
way. |

My idea (link) puts all that aside - no batteries required. |

If you're going to use so much tech, you may wish to make the breast configuration adjustable. |

As for the adjustment mechanism, tactile feedback touchscreens would be fun. |
