ABSTRACT:
A system is described for displaying images of a virtual three-dimensional book having one or more virtual pages. The system comprises a display system capable of executing a display program wherein images of the virtual three-dimensional book are produced on the display system. A slide-out operation for sliding a virtual page out from the virtual three-dimensional book may be provided. The display system may also include a “rocker book” feature, wherein a book shifts between a first view and a second view. Moreover, the display system may display the virtual pages in a plurality of size formats, wherein a selection function may be provided for selecting among the plurality of size formats. Finally, a computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied therein for producing images of a virtual three-dimensional book is also disclosed.
