Interactive children's books can be electronic or paper-based, or a combination of both. The technology they use can be as sophisticated as augmented reality or as simple as a sticker. But what they all have in common is that they are rarely the product of a single creator. Like all children's books, they also have an unusually complex relationship between creators, purchasers and end users. 

In this talk, new Studio resident Jenny Grinsted will explore a new way of developing interactive children's books using the principles of rapid prototyping and user testing. By doing this, can we develop more creative and original interactive stories – and  bring the views and interests of children and parents into the heart of the development process? 

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday. Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do. After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm. Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around just before the talk.
