Using the Smart Shelf from my Networked Objects class, I plan on hooking an Xport and Arduino to connect the shelf to the reader. This tag will be on the book. When the child takes the book off the shelf, this action will act as the \”click.\” Pre-recorded readings will be stored in our dial plan. When the child takes the book off the shelf, he/she will receive a call from the Storybook Reader, who will tell the reader what page he will be reading from. When the child is ready to hang up, Asterisk will store the caller ID and information of the chapter the child left off for the next time he/she takes the book off the shelf again. Other non-linear narratives could be used for content, such as \”Choose your own adventure\” books for an older audience.

Location Based Narrative
Stories are inherently tied to places. Things happen to people in
specific places. Streetstories offers the chance for pedestrians and
online users to experience what\’s happening on the streets of New York
City. Who said what and where?

Our goal with this is to extend the narrative of a physical space. By
allowing people to record their own stories and listen to others, a
physical space can take on a new life. We can also observe and learn
things we might not have noticed before through the eyes and ears of
someone else.

This interaction not only exists in the virtual space (via a yahoo maps
interface) – it exists in physical space (via cell phone or podcast).
With street stories, you\’re hearing new dialogue and interacting with
your environment through the cell phone.

Aura attempts to represent and convey the emotional context of a location through the analysis of simple forms of user generated information. It follows the path of an emotionally significant experience of a particular space in Manhattan from a visual representation in photographs to a vocal, recorded story and makes the accumulation of location related information available to others through a simple phone call or a text message from their mobile phone wherever they are. Aura also attempts to assist users in finding locations matching a particular desired aura and allows users to automate a phone message to a friend in order to convey useful information about their current location. Aura is also intended to have a physical representation in a public space and a virtual representation online so that the most recent and archived communications within Aura can be publically accessible.

By calling the number, leaving a voice message, and scheduling a time for the message to be delivered, you can let the owner of the telebunny know that you were thinking about them, and hope that they find some comfort in hearing your special message. Maybe you have a young child at home while you\’re away on business? Or a special sweetheart who you know will be coming home from work tired and late? When the time comes for the message to be delivered, the telebunny lights up, letting its owner know that there is a message waiting for her. Giving it a gentle squeeze will connect the call and relay the message in your own voice.

MoPres brings out the risidual presence of the people who occupied your current location. It is a geotagging project with the humanized \’context\’ of the locations. The raw data is from bio-metric sensers rather than the conscious, forceful, and mostly inaccurate logging which will provide a more creative and sophisticated flexibility of interpretation on the experiences of people.
