Abstract
Storytelling is a practical and powerful tool for children to develop their language expression and creativity. Many researchers have studied and built storytelling systems for children. Based on the analysis on the existing work, we designed and developed a 3D story authoring system for children by using pen/speech-based multimodal interaction technology. The system allows children to create roles, design roles’ actions, make and share their own stories. The aim of this system is to cultivate the imagination and creativity of children, and to improve their language expression.
