Abstract

Interactive technologies are becoming ubiquitous in many children's lives. This work-in-progress paper briefly describes and illustrates a new approach for creating user abstractions of children. The technique is based on a theoretically and empirically grounded framework for creating child-personas. It is expected to reduce designer's assumptions about children. A preliminary assessment of this claim based on engagement, complexity and realism concludes this work in progress.
