Prochinima

Panu Åkerman, Arto Puikkonen · 2011

In this paper we explore the use of Prochinima, a mobile and ubiquitous storytelling tool concept utilizing small projectors and ready-made animations. We tested Prochinima in a field trial, where 6--10 year old children were using the system and creating stories, as well as capturing the stories on video. In addition to analyzing Prochinima's ability to support children's storytelling and collaboration, we explore the affect of mobility and context on storytelling. Moreover, we discuss the importance of creativity and supporting user's own content creation. We also argue that fun and playfulness is connected to the freedom of creativity.
