Digital Puppets
Interaction design for Children
Guide: Prof Ravi Poovaiah
Lets pretend... just imagine if... Playtime is the most wonderfull time in a childs life.This project explores the common space for interaction, an open experimentarim in the intersection between new communication technologies on one hand and childrens play on the other. Children often express their creativity in the form of role playing, story telling and scenario enacting in their play.Puppetry offers great potential for role playing and storytelling. Using the childs hand as puppet, the essence of puppetry is recreated in the new medium of digital technology. The digital puppet is the virtual representation of the child where he collaborates and plays with other virtual friends.
