Abstract

A variety of interactive books, including ‘touch and feel books’, enable children to physically learn and develop knowledge. We developed an interactive touch and feel book for children that integrates sound and LED light to enhance the child’s interaction. Our project explores the development of textile-based electronic touch and feel books, integrating textiles with ready-made and self-made sensors and actuators in a book format. It is called ‘Hello World’ as this is the common name of the very first program by someone new to software or hardware development, and thought ta good metaphor for children exploring their very first touch-and-feel book enhanced with interactive features.
