Abstract: An electronic reader device configured to receive at least one set of source data for processing in a manner so as to display at least one electronic reading material. The electronic reader device includes a processing portion and a display portion coupled to the processing portion. The processing portion can be configured to process at least one set of source data in a manner so as to produce graphic data. Graphic data can be communicated to the display portion which can be configured to display graphic data as display data in a stereoscopic display mode. The display data can correspond to a graphic representation. In the stereoscopic display mode, the graphic representation is associable with a three dimensional imaging based graphic representation such that the display data correspond to a graphic representation where at least one portion of the at least one electronic reading material is visually perceivable to be projecting from the display portion.

Abstract: There is provided a method for incorporating a soundtrack into an edited video-with-audio recording using a video recording apparatus. The method includes recording the video-with-audio for subsequent playback. Subsequently, at least one soundtrack is incorporated as an audio tag, the at least one soundtrack being selected from a plurality of soundtracks generated from a soundtrack creator dependent on conditions such as, for example, parameters of content of the recorded video-with-audio, user-defined characteristics for the at least one soundtrack, or a combination of both of the aforementioned conditions. Content of the video-with-audio incorporated with the selected soundtrack is reviewed. The user may edit the content of video-with-audio incorporated with the selected soundtrack by removing image frames of the video-with-audio; and rectify the selected soundtrack using the soundtrack creator such that the edited video-with-audio has a fluent soundtrack similar to the selected soundtrack. The edited video-with-audio is thus enhanced in relation to aural effects in a desired manner by the user. In another aspect, there is provided an audio tag used to generate a soundtrack in a video-with-audio using a soundtrack creator.
