Sun Seeking: Interactive Story-Reading Through Different Media

Abstract. This poster introduces two pilot studies on children’s story reading and retelling using interactive media that move beyond familiar keyboard and mouse interaction. These studies formed a subset of investigations into the potential for Augmented Reality (AR) story books to engage and motivate story reading using familiar and easy to set-up technologies. We contrasted AR with two other media and report initial findings that point towards the memorability and potential for engagement of these different media, concluding with our further research questions. Keywords. AR, interactive reading, informal learning, qualitative evaluation
