Interactive Cartoon
For the course Ambient Screens my group made an interactive cartoon. In this cartoon the user is the main character of the story. At the beginning the screen is coloured in black and white and a virtual character asks for a Super Hero to arrive. When the user at that points walks in front of the screen, the screen turns into a coloured image, the virtual character welcomes the user and the user gets a speech bubble projected above his/her head. The story starts.
The virtual character leads the user through the story and explains what problems should be solved. Icons show the way the user should interact. For each problem the user can choose what super power he or she wants to use to solve the problem. The icons show which power can be chosen and that the user has to walk left or right.
In each scene there is a speech bubble projected above the head of the user to let him or her feel part of the story.
