How was school today...?: a prototype system that uses environmental sensors and NLG to support personal narrative for children with complex communication needs

We will show an in-situ sensor based prototype that supports personal narrative for children with complex communication needs. We will demonstrate the process from data collection, story generation and editing, to the interactive narration of stories about a child's school day. The challenging environment of a special school for prototype testing will be discussed and improvements of the next generation prototype presented.
