Description
A storybook serves as the interface for this animatronic doll house. The book explains the dark historical backgrounds behind four Brother's Grimm fairy tales. Each page in the book activates a scene in a room that depicts our personal interpretations of the histories.

Personal Statement
We wanted to explore different perspectives on fairy tales and ways to present them.

Audience
Mostly adults who are interested in interactive storytelling. Some more mature children.

User Scenario
1. User approaches one of only two situations:
A lit up and attrative fairy tale looking book that is CLOSED. A dark but interesting doll house. A sign or screen with a simple title of the installation.
A lit up and attrative fairy tale looking book that is OPEN. A doll house with one room (cooresponding to the page the book is in) light up, a video looping on a screen.
2. User turns the page. The lighted room in the doll house changes to a new room in a obvious way. The video changes with a delay of pure black until it starts to give time for the viewer to look in the next room.
