POVZETEK:

Ubiquitous nature, versatility, and durability enabled the paper to maintain its importance in the digital age. It is not surprising there have been numerous attempts to combine paper with digital content. Despite this, several shortcomings persist, for example: these systems still demand users to handle or wear hardware (e.g. smartphones, HMDs) especially problematic when augmenting an activity that primarily happens on the paper (e.g. augmenting reading without disrupting the reading experience per se) or when users are expected to interact with paper for a longer period of time, such as when studying. Furthermore, these applications still require elaborated setups of hardware around the user (e.g. complex projector placement), which can also occlude the augmentation preventing the system from functioning as intended. One way to overcome these limitations is to place the screen emitting digital content and supporting interactivity (e.g. tablet computer or a tabletop display) beneath the paper. The paper thus becomes ``the screen'' on which the additional content is viewed whilst the interactivity is supported using the sensing capabilities of the underlying display. However, in such setups, the paper also acts as a barrier through which light and sensing signal need to pass degrading the quality of the displayed image and input sensing capabilities. This creates an interesting area for further investigation on the characterization of light transmittance through paper and on the exploration of methods to alter such optical properties. For example, could this be done through paper perforation or the addition of commonly available paper inks? Furthermore, no research explores how the presentation of digital content could be used to improve the perceived quality of imagery when viewed through paper. For example, could the movement of digital content such as text improve its resolution of it and make it more readable? On the other hand, no research explored how the conductivity of paper would affect the touch and stylus interaction as the paper is placed on top of a touch screen surface and how to overcome such interference The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the aforementioned gaps in knowledge through the characterisation of paper and ink properties and exploration of methods that could be used to improve interactivity and perceived quality of displayed imagery. All this will lead us to the overreaching goal of designing, constructing, and evaluating a novel Interactive Paper Display in which the light source is placed beneath the paper.
