ABSTRACT
Tangible and embodied interactions can provide a means to bring performative and participatory activities that have a physical presence in the real world into the narrated story world. This research investigates how to employ tangible narrative interfaces for learning about and reflecting on cultural practices. The research is informed by tangible interface frameworks, narratology, and existing cultural practices around storytelling with physical objects. The goal of this research is to design interfaces that are cohesively coupled with narrative content and that support meaningful interaction. I adopted tangible manipulation and expressive representation as guiding principles to explain the role of tangible media. Design guidelines are proposed and tested in preliminary research.
