Sun Seeking: Interactive Story-Reading Through Different Media

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.
