   2. The Research and Application of Augmented Reality in 3D Interactive Books for Children

      Chunxia Dong, Zhanjun Si

      Abstract

      This paper studies the application of augmented reality technology in children’s 3D interactive books, which can bring interesting, interactive, immersive and realistic reading experience for children. First, the relevant audio, video and other materials were processed by multimedia software. And the three-dimensional models were created by 3ds Max. Then, the multimedia resources and 3D models were integrated in Unity 3D. Finally, the recognition function was realized with the help of Vuforia SDK, and the interactive functions were accomplished by writing scripts. The result was that an augmented reality mobile application based on android platform was developed as well as a book was designed. By scanning the image of the book with the mobile camera, it can present animals’ three-dimensional models. Users can watch the animation by clicking the button. The application of augmented reality technology in children’s books makes its expression rich and vivid. It also can achieve the purpose of edutainment. Besides, combining this technology with publishing industry can help to promote the transformation and upgrading of the publishing industry.

      Shenghui Li, Ruizhi Shi, Hui Ye

      Abstract

      In this paper, we analyzed the characteristic and principles of image cloud recognition, and build the applied process of Mobile Augmented Reality in prints combined with Mobile Augmented Reality. Based on the analysis and research of Mobile Augmented Reality and image cloud recognition’s technical features, an interactive prototype system for apartment model also is developed with the help of Qualcomm AR open SDK. The conventional paper prints simply present information by physical images or text, whereas the new prototype system developed in this paper can provide more accurate and diversified information to individuals. In order to make the Mobile Augmented Reality more effective in printing industry, suggestions are provided for further implementation.

   5. Research and Implementation of Online Training Cross-Platform Mobile Application Based on PhoneGap

      Xin Zhen, Aibin Huang, Chao Chen, Kangye Wang, Caifeng Liu

      Abstract

      At present, there are many kinds of mobile operation platforms on the market, and the application software running on each operating system is independent and incompatible, which causes the long-time development period of multi-platform application. We propose a cross-platform mobile application scheme based on the study of the current mobile application development solution. A power plant enterprise online training system was developed based on the Android platform by the cross-platform mobile application scheme. The online training cross-platform mobile application was valuable based on PhoneGap for it can improve the compatibility on different operating systems.

   6. The Research and Application of WebGL Technology on Color Experiment Learning Platform

      Donghan Zhang, Zhanjun Si, Jiaojiao Zhang

      Abstract

      The goal of this paper is to develop the digital color experimental learning website by using a variety of technologies so as to assist teachers in color experiment teaching and learning. The color test is not easy to achieve in real life, so we collected data and creating color model, color rendering by using 3ds max, making experimental study of color site layout design of a web site with HTML5 and CSS3. Using Three.js 3D model make files into the web page, released the final color experiment learning website. The design of Color Science Learning Websites with virtual display module of the website can show the user simulation experiment model and color phenomenon. The paper concludes that the application of the WebGL technology in the virtual display of color experimental model can provide teachers and students a teaching and learning platform. Besides, this application can also spread to the internet school and the virtual education.

   7. Analysis and Implementation of Message Pushing Technology Based on Third Party Platform

      Kangye Wang, Caifeng Liu, Xin Zhen, Chao Chen, Aibin Huang

      Abstract

      It was very important to solve the problem of message conveniently, economically, stably and safely pushing to mobile devices based on Android platform. The manuscript discussed the advantages and disadvantages of traditional Pull and Push methods such as simple polling, SMS service, persistent connection and long polling technology. The push methods about C2DM, MQTT and XMPP based on Android platform were discussed too. Finally, a third-party platform was achieved to push the message service. The push system was examined to verify that the push service easy to operate, cost savings, less occupation of resources, higher efficiency. It hints that the message pushing technology based on third party platform may be a superior technology to solve the problems of message pushing.

   8. Design and Implement of a Social-Publishing App Based on iOS Platform

      Yuchen Ye, Hongyan Zhao

      Abstract

      Social-Publishing App is a community where users can post their stories, articles or any user-generated content through a mobile app. Through this, every user can write their own works and share them with like-mended readers through social networks. One function of the software allows users to participate into the book creation process, as well as communication activities, such as common, annotation, fellow works or writer, etc. This article will introduce the app’s function and the software utilized in the development of the app. The Social-Publishing app was developed on Mac system using Xcode tools, Object-C programming language, and SQLite database. The app’s interactive prototype was created through Axure, according to the user’s reading habits. The UI complements control all the buttons and respond immediately to the user’s click and touch gestures.

   9. The Research of Application of 720° Panoramic Roaming Technology in Indoor Display

      Jiaojiao Zhang, Zhanjun Si, Donghan Zhang

      Abstract

      Object 720° panoramic roaming technology has been widely used in outdoor panoramic roaming production, but the research on indoor panoramic production is few. This paper aimed to study the application and prospect of 720° panoramic roaming technology in indoor display. Method First, take pictures at “Yin Yuejia Cultural and Art Center”. Next, splice the plane panoramas in PTGui. Then modify the flat panoramas in the photoshop. Adjust the hue and saturation to ensure the same effect among the panoramas. Finally, create the panoramic effect in the 720 platform. The result was that a good interactive indoor panoramic roaming was completed. Conclusion 720° panoramic roaming technology has the advantages of all-round, real scene and other strong points. It has broad prospects in indoor panorama display and thus this research makes a lot of sense.

   11. Printing Media’s New Blue Ocean—From Customized Web-to-Print to Me-Commerce Cloud Printing

       Chi-Feng Cheng, Yung-Cheng Hsieh, Ming-Chw Wei

       Abstract

       The Web-to-Print platform offers print service providers a brand new sales channel. The channel enables providers to expand customers from business entities to end users via Internet; meanwhile, through this channel, providers can cast off price competition of being standardized and increase product value via personalization and customization. By adopting highly automatic production, print service providers can establish efficient business procedure in developing new customer and good customer service; also, providers can reduce labor cost and improve performance. Nevertheless, the Web-to-Print is not only a new platform but also a new business ecosystem. The keynote for traditional print industry to lead the Web-to-Print is to consolidate business flow and to transform company culture. The Internet marketing’s education and implementation become crucial for Web-to-Print providers to develop business. Web-to-Print providers will eventually design customized product by satisfying Me-Commerce along with 3D printing technology being refined. On Me-Commerce platform, the print service will be completed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, from graphic as flat to unique and unmatched as a whole. With the growing of subscribers, the Big Data application will be an important tool to reinforce Web-to-Print’s ecosystem and Me-Commerce platform. In the era of Internet, either Web-to-Print or Me-Commerce is important for print service provider’s competitiveness and development.
