THE LITTLE PRINCE ON IPAD

Adobe Illustrator - Adobe Photoshop

Finishing my Digital Aesthetics course on the IT-University I - and two fellow students - did a design project attempting to combine childrens gaming and reading experience.  We wanted to achieve an expansion of a story-world by transmitting the sensual, emotional and cognitive expression of the book into a tablet game.

To test our augmented reading experience concept we made a prototype using a physical copy of the book ”The Little Prince” with QR codes tagged inside. When scanning these codes with an iPad, a series of mini-games that related to the corresponding narrative in the book, could be played. The mini-games explored and/or expanded the central theme of the book chapter, enabeling the child to reflect on the events in the story. 

The paper linked below was publiched at the SiDER Interactiondesign Conference, Gothenburg 2012.
