We are able to download text from books and present these books to our users in a virtual reality environment. This gives them specific capabilities to manipulate the text and factors such as brightness, size and contrast, in order for them to gain a comfortable reading experience. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02878636/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02878636/file/488595_1_En_62_Chapter.pdf %L hal-02878636 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-02878636 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-11749
