From PETS to Storykit: Creating New Technology with an Intergenerational Design Team

چکیده
Working with children as our design partners, our intergenerational design team at the University of Maryland has been developing both new design methodologies and new storytelling technology for children. In this paper, we focus on two recent results of our efforts: PETS, a robotic storyteller, and Storykit, a construction kit of low-tech and high-tech components to build immersive StoryRooms. We then describe some lessons we learned.
