I was completely blown away by this video the first time through. Such a simple, low-tech, solution produces such an amazingly rich, engaging experience that’s just bursting with possibility for further creativity.

While it’s just a concept at this point, you can see how it can make a new kind of storytelling available to the masses in a way that wouldn’t have seemed possible not that long ago.

There’s some more info here but it’s in Japanese.

    This is pretty awesome. What's most exciting is that touchscreens needn't be limited to iPhone fairly soon. Now all we need is a present-day version of hypercard that takes the tech work out the storytelling. The XO has a nifty little piece of software called eToys, that allows for all sorts of interactions like the one showed above. (Of course I would go to XO.)

    “Multipurpose” means “super-multipurpose” if we talk about the iPhone. Great prototype.

    That was awesome! As a mother and early childhood teacher I am captivated (my boys as well). I can't wait to see how it all comes out. I will definitely be looking for updates on your project.
