Abstract
This thesis presents Variable Reality, a wearable augmented reality-based system focused on creating a unique on-the-go reading experience that combines the readily accessible nature of digital books with the favorable physical spatiality of a paper book. The two types of Variable Reality books are the Augmented Book and the Virtual Book. They differ in the way they are displayed as the former augments virtual pages onto an actual book whereas the latter virtually augments a 3-D book on the palm of the user's hand. Designed to take the physical form of a book, Variable Reality books make use of human cognitive ability in storing and retrieving information in a spatial manner. Easy-to-use hand gestures naturally associated with reading activity are integrated with the system to help bring an intuitive user experience in reading.
