About Traveling in Virtual Space Textbook
Traveling in Virtual Space is a cover design for elementary school textbooks. The illustration extends from the front cover to the back cover to suggest one continuous space. Students can scan the cover with a mobile application to start an augmented reality mode, in which the illustrated space responds to touch and adds sound. The covers are produced with finishing methods such as color foil and silk epoxy to create a three-dimensional feel. The design uses travel stories and familiar characters to raise curiosity and to support experience-based learning.
Mirae-N Design Team's Traveling in Virtual Space Textbook series exemplifies thoughtful systematic approaches to educational material design wherein subject differentiation achieves clarity through deliberate chromatic coding while visual cohesion maintains recognizable family identity across the curriculum, the emerald mathematics volume, cerulean science edition, and rose-hued social studies text each establishing immediate subject recognition through color association while shared illustrative vocabulary, typographic treatment, and compositional principles create unified learning ecosystem, the design team demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how young learners navigate educational materials by providing intuitive visual wayfinding through consistent placement of subject titles, grade indicators, and supplementary information while differentiated palettes enable rapid identification even at distance or peripheral glance, illustrative content merits particular recognition for balancing engagement with clarity as each cover presents accessible narrative vignettes featuring relatable characters engaged in seasonally appropriate activities that suggest the broader thematic territories each subject explores, from mathematical thinking represented through spatial play and geometric pool forms to scientific observation suggested by natural landscape exploration, the execution reveals technical accomplishment in contemporary digital illustration maintaining crisp vector precision while introducing subtle atmospheric gradients that prevent flatness and suggest dimensional depth, character design follows contemporary conventions for educational materials featuring simplified proportions and approachable expressions that welcome young audiences without condescension, the physical presentation including the dimensional sculptural element demonstrates consideration for how these materials function within actual learning environments as tactile objects that young hands will encounter repeatedly throughout academic terms, inviting viewers to consider how thoughtful design at every scale from systematic color strategy to individual character gesture contributes to educational experiences that engage, orient, and inspire young learners embarking upon foundational academic journeys.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- It is the cover design for elementary school textbooks which enables experience based learning through the indirect travel in the space of the cover. The illustration was expressed from the front side of the cover to the rear side of it to provide the concept of space. It also made it possible for the students to think and imagine three dimensionally by enabling them to experience the virtual space with the usage of the AR that can be activated on the app.

- Production Technology
- The cover was made with 3D feel to it which allows 3D-like thinking and imagination with abundance by enabling the students experience AR along with the application of various post process technologies such as the use of color foil, silk epoxy, etc. It was designed with the implementation of marker technology to automatically get the AR mode on when the picture of the cover image is taken after downloading the AR app - MiraeN’s textbook travel
- Design Challenge
- Search for visual images (characters) and concept that could match students’ interest as a non-governmental organization’s textbook for elementary school was conducted and the stories related to the study contents were sought after for the increased curiosity and aggressive participation in studying. It was made possible for a new experience by creating the virtual space with the application of AR through the new technologies and trend search.
- Project Duration
- The project was planned and produced from November 2021 to 2022 and it is projected to be used as a textbook for the 5th and 6th grades from the first semester of 2023
- Operation Flow
- Study contents for each subject can be naturally experienced through traveling. It was designed for the students to learn the study contents naturally by traveling the space on the cover page, not the flat cover page, with keywords of joy, imagine, adventure with the familiar characters. By enabling the aggressive interactive communication in the virtual space between the users and the book with the AR system that reacts upon touches and speaks on the things in the background.
- Research
- A lot of thoughts were carefully put into the design to have it play a role to increase the expectation and curiosity level about the study contents in non-governmental organization’s textbook. The story of traveling and characters in the daily life were chosen to be used as a bridge between the students and the textbook to connect them. Also, the range of thinking was widened with the enabled AR experience which allows the students to think beyond just the printing.
- Inspiration
- Easy access to an unapproachable textbook was given by meshing various things that could only be gained from the experience into the study materials and also three dimensional understanding of the study materials was enabled by widening the boundaries of what students can imagine with three dimensional vividness through a newly developed AR system
