Playtimes are more active and more creative

MONNOM is a novel digitally-enhanced narrative environment that activates children to physically move while they create their own rules and play materials.

How MONNOM works?

MONNOM perceives select objects in the children’s everyday environment with parameters of color and depth, translates them to digital patterns on a screen. You don’t need any digital attachments. Just a computer, tablet or cellphone with a webcam is enough.

Camera

Place your device on a flat surface in an environment with sufficient light. Monnom works with front cameras on mobile devices.

Objects

Prepare objects with blue, red, yellow, green colors. You can also start the game with an object. However, the more options you will have.

Physical Movement

You can start a play by moving objects within the space.

Collaborate & Learn

MONNOM empowers children to explore creative play and learning by connecting physical movements with digital environments. We collaborate with schools and museums to provide rich artistic content and educational solutions that support creative curricula and active learning.

Publications

In these papers, we present studies exploring digital augmentation as an integral part of spatial experience in children’s play with physical objects. Our studies suggest a set of qualities to think about interaction design for children’s play and future research.
