The Magic Story Cube

I New Scientist-artikeln Magic cube conjures virtual reality kid's tales berättas om ett nytt sätt att berätta (barn)historier: "The Magic Story Cube".

A novel interactive way to relate children's stories has been developed by researchers in Singapore. The Magic Story Cube uses augmented reality technology, in which computer graphics are superimposed on the real world, to overlay an animated version of a story on top of a child's traditional "magic cube".

In early lab tests, users said they enjoyed the Magic Story Cube more than a picture book. "You need to take account of the fact that people are physical creatures, and these cubes are a very tangible, direct way of interacting with information," [Adrian] Cheok says.

In addition to stories, the NUS team is planning educational cubes that involve puzzle solving, or perhaps something to educate a child about the laws of physics or chemistry.
