Young children often build various structures withwooden blocks; structures that are often used forpretend play, subtly improving childrenýs creativityand imagination. Based on a traditional Japanesewooden block toy, Tsumiki, we propose a novelinteractive toy for children, maintaining the physicalassets of wooden blocks and enhancing them withautomation. We name our interactive toy"TSU.MI.KI." "TSU.MI.KI" consists of a set ofcomputerized blocks equipped with severalinput/output devices. Children can tangibly interactwith a virtual scenario by manipulating andconstructing structures from the physical blocks, andby using input and output devices that are integratedinto the blocks. TSU.MI.KI retains the physicaladvantages of its ancient predecessor and adds adistinct interactive layer that supports creativity byimitating a storyteller or a supportive caregiver.
