Abstract
A system for audio- or video-enhancement of books or other reading material includes a substantially transparent guide sheet, a pointing device, and a broadcast device. The guide sheet is configured to be placed over or under and aligned with a selected page. The user touches the pointing device on the guide sheet or the page, and the broadcast device determines the position of contact, and provides audio and/or video output corresponding to contents of the book at the contacted location. The system may include an active guide sheet and passive pointing device, or an active pointing device and passive guide sheet, or both an active pointing device and an active guide sheet.
