The AIL partnered with the creator of the Winklebeans a line of handcrafted wooden toy monsters with interchangeable magnetic pieces to explore how we might ldquotell tangible storiesrdquo with smart objects and the Internet of Things Children can assemble disassemble and reassemble the Winklebean characters to make thousandsof uniqueconfigurationswhichmakestheWinklebeansperfect for our exploration into tangible storytelling
By splicing sensors into the Winklebeansrsquo magnetic pieces and embedding a tiny PC into their chassis we transformed the wooden toys into smart objects that sync up wirelessly with a dynamic book apponaconnectedmobiledeviceWhenachildreconfiguresthetoy(forexamplewhenthechildtakesthelsquotailrsquopieceofftherearof the toy and attaches it instead to the top of the Winklebeanrsquos head) the storyline in the connected dynamic book app changes We also embedded a speaker into each toy which not only allows the Winklebean to participate in the ldquoperformancerdquo of the storytelling by adding its own commentary but also allows multiple Winklebeans to vocally react to one another when they are both synced to the same dynamic book app

Tangible Storytelling Winklebeans
About the WinklebeansWinklebeans are a small tribe of adventurous wooden monsters living in a massive old tree stump on top of Winklehill Legend has it that there used to be thousands of Winklebeans living on in a place called Winkle-isle before an event called ldquoThe Swallowingrdquo took Winkle-isle in the early part of the 19th century Now there are only six Winklebeans left five of which have never known life outside of Winklehill
Winklebeans are known amongst their animal friends for their special powers and unique ability to move exchange and create new ldquoelementsrdquo (body parts) They love exploring their forests and rivers but also wander into what appear to be abandoned human towns and cities on occasion But they always make it home to Winklehill and no one is ever left behind ldquoWinklebeans work togetherrdquo is their motto

Winklebeans are known amongst their animal friends for their special powers and unique ability to move exchange and create new ldquoelementsrdquo (body parts) They love exploring their forests and rivers but also wander into what appear to be abandoned human towns and cities on occasion But they always make it home to Winklehill and no one is ever left behind ldquoWinklebeans work togetherrdquo is their motto

About the WinklebeansWinklebeans are a small tribe of adventurous wooden monsters living in a massive old tree stump on top of Winklehill Legend has it that there used to be thousands of Winklebeans living on in a place called Winkle-isle before an event called ldquoThe Swallowingrdquo took Winkle-isle in the early part of the 19th century Now there are only six Winklebeans left five of which have never known life outside of Winklehill
Winklebeans are known amongst their animal friends for their special powers and unique ability to move exchange and create new ldquoelementsrdquo (body parts) They love exploring their forests and rivers but also wander into what appear to be abandoned human towns and cities on occasion But they always make it home to Winklehill and no one is ever left behind ldquoWinklebeans work togetherrdquo is their motto

Winklebeans are known amongst their animal friends for their special powers and unique ability to move exchange and create new ldquoelementsrdquo (body parts) They love exploring their forests and rivers but also wander into what appear to be abandoned human towns and cities on occasion But they always make it home to Winklehill and no one is ever left behind ldquoWinklebeans work togetherrdquo is their motto

The AIL partnered with the creator of the Winklebeans a line of handcrafted wooden toy monsters with interchangeable magnetic pieces to explore how we might ldquotell tangible storiesrdquo with smart objects and the Internet of Things Children can assemble disassemble and reassemble the Winklebean characters to make thousandsof uniqueconfigurationswhichmakestheWinklebeansperfect for our exploration into tangible storytelling
By splicing sensors into the Winklebeansrsquo magnetic pieces and embedding a tiny PC into their chassis we transformed the wooden toys into smart objects that sync up wirelessly with a dynamic book apponaconnectedmobiledeviceWhenachildreconfiguresthetoy(forexamplewhenthechildtakesthelsquotailrsquopieceofftherearof the toy and attaches it instead to the top of the Winklebeanrsquos head) the storyline in the connected dynamic book app changes We also embedded a speaker into each toy which not only allows the Winklebean to participate in the ldquoperformancerdquo of the storytelling by adding its own commentary but also allows multiple Winklebeans to vocally react to one another when they are both synced to the same dynamic book app
