Abstract

This paper describes a virtual storytelling medium, called Interactive e-Hon, for helping children understand content from the Web or other electronic devices. It works by transforming electronic content into an easily understandable “storybook world.”In this world, easy-to-understand content is generated by creating 3D animations that include content and metaphors, and by using a child-parent model with dialogue expression and a question-answering style comprehensible to children.
