This study proposes an immersive storytelling reading platform integrating Generative AI and interactive Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance children’s reading engagement. The platform combines style-transfer-based object detection, LangChain-driven real-time story generation, and Unity-based AR interactions, offering a multi-sensory reading experience via hand tracking and dynamic text. Experiments showed a 21.6% improvement in object detection accuracy, and EEG results revealed increased theta/beta power and suppressed alpha power when using the proposed platform, indicating enhanced attention. These findings highlight the educational potential of interactive reading environments for the digital-native generation.

“Ilyeop” (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton), a new cultivar for leaf vegetable, was developed from a cross between Ipdeulkkae1 and YCPL187 at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Experiment Station, RDA, in 2001. For the cultivation of leaf vegetable perilla, the plants are grown with a spacing of 10 × 5 cm between rows and plants and all branches are removed to harvest uniform leaves from main stem, indicating that the amount of the next harvesting leaf is a important characteristic for the growth of the plant. “Ilyeop” grows vigorously and yields high quality leaf with higher amount of the next harvesting leaves composed with a check cultivar, “Ipdeulkkae1”. “Ilyeop” has five days of earlier seed maturity (Oct. 24) than that of “Ipdeulkkae1” under natural condition, less chance of frost damage is expected. The flowering date of “Ilyeop” is same with that of “Ipdeulkkae1” in winter cultivation with night break treatment.
