The document describes an interactive virtual 3D animal info book (IV3DAIB) project. The project uses augmented reality to overlay 3D models of animals on markers in a book, along with synthesized audio descriptions. Speech recognition is used to recognize voice commands to control the program. When a marker is recognized, the corresponding 3D animal model, audio description, and wiki information are displayed. The project combines augmented reality, pattern recognition, speech synthesis and speech recognition to create an interactive learning tool for children and students to learn about animals visually and audibly.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Augmented Reality
“Combining real-world with virtual-world. While viewing the
real-world, real-world is augmented with virtual contents.”
• In the project user with book and pattern is real world.
• Virtual 3D animals are virtual objects belong to virtual
world.
• Audio description about animals belong to virtual world.
• Virtual 3D objects and audio descriptions are computer
generated.

 Speech Synthesis
 An audio description about the animal is synthesized while
viewing the particular virtual 3D animal overlaid on top of
the marker present in “IV3DAIB” book.

11. PROTOTYPE
• The above processes are same for different makers that
are recognized from pages of the book, but virtual 3D
object, audio description and displayed Wiki content
changes from marker to marker.
• Different 3D virtual animals are visualized on top of
textbook pages.

12. ADVANTAGES
• Interactive textbook for children learners.
• Future veterinary textbooks can be made based on this idea.
• Extremely useful for veterinary students.
• Visualization of animal organs can be made based on this
project.
• Advanced interactive animal guides can be made by
enhancing this project.
