Once Upon an Object... Computationally-Augmented Toys for Storytelling
نویسنده
چکیده
We are developing design principles applying tangible interfaces to storytelling. This paper describes an underlying philosophy and three resultant designs for computer-mediated toys, exploring how the merging of physical objects with computer technology can enhance children’s storytelling. Each prototype aims to develop a specific set of both oral and written storytelling skills, as well as collaboration, sharing, and the notion of revision. By creating narratives, children learn about culture and identity, and develop a sense of self. In addition, narrative can be used as a gateway to draw girls into technology. The use of multi-sensory interfaces allows for richer interaction.

HIP-Storytelling: Hand Interactive Projection for Storytelling
We have created an interactive storytelling system for public spaces that is collaborative, easy and entertaining to use, and allows for a natural interaction. The system consists of a table, a ceiling mounted projector that projects onto the table, and a 3D camera for tracking hands and for object recognition. The main feature of the system is the projection on top of the palm of the hand of t...
متن کاملDestructible toys as enrichment for captive chimpanzees.
The use of destructible objects or toys as enrichment for nonhuman primates has had promising results in terms of increased use and positive behavioral effect. The purpose of this project was to determine the use and durability of a number of inexpensive, destructible toys provided one at a time or several at once. Nine singly caged chimpanzees were provided with 8 different toys made of plasti...
متن کاملStorytelling in Collaborative Augmented Reality Environments
$%675$&7 We describe the several possibilities of using storytelling in an Augmented Reality Environment to support the collaborative experience of the users in those environments. We start with the motivation of a lack of storytelling and experience in Collaborative Virtual Environments. As an implication of the need for such experiences, we give a general definition of Interactive Storytellin...
متن کاملSemantic Mapping of Augmented Toys between the Physical and Virtual World
Based on an augmented toy environment we present an approach of a semantic mapping between the physical and the virtual world. The virtual representation, function and role of play objects (i.e., toys) are determined mainly by their physical appearance, i.e., the role the user would intuitively associate with a specific toy given its physical form. We describe several examples that utilize this...
متن کاملStoryToy the Interactive Storytelling Toy
Children are drawn away from traditional toys and towards computer games at an ever younger age. Pervasive Computing may reverse that trend as it can bring similar levels of interactivity as available in computer games to traditional toys. In this a paper a storytelling environment is presented consisting of an audio replay engine and a tactile user interface based on a sensor network. The impl...
