ABSTRACT:
A device to allow reader interaction with printed materials such as comic books is provided. The device comprises a base unit with a sensitive upper surface on which is placed the printed material. The reader answers questions and solves challenges posed in the printed material by exerting pressure on specially marked areas of the printed page. The sensitive surface translates the pressure into electrical signals which signify the location of the pressure, and the device makes appropriate audio or other responses. The reader is led through the printed material as the specially marked areas become active sequentially. A printed story is thereby transformed into an interactive experience with various game challenges and sound effects. The sound effects and logical challenges for each story are stored in a readily replaceable cartridge. Any number of different printed materials can be used as long as the specific cartridge for each different printed material is inserted into the base unit.
