2024 - Cardboard, Arduino, RFID reader and tags, 3D printed cover. 30 x 17 x 4cm
This custom-made book, featuring hand-drawn illustrations, works with an RFID reader to trigger story changes based on the child’s choices. Powered by Python, an Arduino, and the GPT API, the story gets a fun twist with each interaction, with Nana or other characters saying something new through the speaker, thanks to ElevenLabs voice design.
When used solo, it offers a new twist to the adventure each time, keeping children engaged with the toy. When enjoyed with parents or guardians, both can decide Nana’s next move. Nana serves as a placeholder story, demonstrating a concept that can easily be adapted to various educational themes or different contexts. Kids stay engaged with prompts and at one point even get to draw their choice on a whiteboard.
