CHI 2010: Family Story Play (Nokia / Sesame)

Family Story Play – Hayes Raffle / Nokia
Families spread apart yet struggle with technology – esp kids under 5 (abstract concept of telephone as person’s voice)
Young kids + grandparents have most desire to communicate and time to do so

Design guidelines –
(1)     promote dialogic reading activities (reading book combo w/ dialogue around it, engage in questions)
(2)     support typical reading experiences (bed time stories, page turning)
(3)     provide shared context (coordinating page turns)
(4)     accessible and playful

story play compared to skype:
·         engagement higher on FSP – engaging with physicality of book
·         spent longer time reading the story on FSP
·         gparents asked twice as many questions on FSP vs skype

a new kind of collaborative storytelling
