M&M - MONNOM meets MOBEYBOU / IDC '22
M&M is a digitally-enhanced narrative environment born from Monnom and Mobeybou. By integrating sensors and physical objects, it empowers children to create open-ended stories through bodily movement and voice. This hybrid platform bridges physical play with digital visualizations, fostering intercultural connection through immersive, collaborative storytelling.
M&M is a digitally enhanced narrative environment for children that resulted from the collaborative projects Monnom and Mobeybou. M&M aims at offering children open-ended interaction scenarios to collaboratively create narratives through their bodily movements, voices, and the use of physical objects in space. M&M consists of sensors that collect data from the physical environment, an operating system that transforms the collected data into digital visualisations, and a projection that displays the output of the narration. In the physical environment, children can use objects and move with them to interact with the digital narrative elements. By interacting with the story elements, children connect with different cultures and environments, in an intercultural embodied storytelling experience.
