Abstract: An augmented reality story-telling system is disclosed. The system is intended to work with mobile computing devices, and utilizes proprietary software to display augmented-reality enhanced stories in a physical environment. Contemplated for use in children's books and educational materials, the system is designed to enhance user interaction with the information in the stories so as to improve user literacy and vocabulary. The system may be made available in a personal or a classroom edition, and either format may include features that both teach and quiz a user on the story and the language used. The system may also incorporate analytics and metrics to assess and track user progress over time. Stories for the system may be stored locally on the user's device or may be downloaded from a central database through the proprietary software.
