What if the toy could also offer its visual perspective?
I implemented & studied:
- Camera-human interactions
- Editing platforms & interfaces
- Mechanisms for playback of the
audio/visual stories

Camera-human interactions
Professional Camera
Pocket PC camera
First prototyped camera
Results: The camera remains at the eye level, with no drastically
new visual discoveries. However the smallest the camera, the
more opportunities for capturing it offers.

Camera-human interactions
What if the eye was where it does not belong?
The children capture a radically new genre of videos, directly related
to their oral storytelling, merged into their play, exploring different
visual angles and perspectives.
