We propose an augmented reality (AR) pop-up picture book (AR book), which is a digital picture book using the AR technology. Digital picture books increase the interest of children in reading and are often used to encourage children to read. Conventional picture book writers have few technical skills and expertise in developing AR contents. We aim to develop an effect editor for AR books to aid the writers create expressive AR books. We propose a new intuitive method for obtaining editing effects in AR books using teaching motions based on demonstrations of writers using real-world objects. The results of our experimental evaluation demonstrate that the system can be effectively used to edit 3D motion effects in AR books.
