Abstract
This paper presents an intuitive approach of annotation based haptic interaction with traditional digital reading materials such as eBooks. The research targets to bring a multi-sensory interface consisting of perceptual, cognitive and vibrotactile interactions with the digital reading contents. It leverages a previously developed haptic jacket to receive haptic emotive signals wirelessly in the form of patterned vibrations of the actuators in order to pave ways for intimate reading experience for the readers in various eBook platforms.
