User Interface Devices for Kids

Eric Strommen has designed and studied interactive learning products for children on almost every interactive platform available including Nintendo, SEGA, CD-I, DV-I, CD-ROM, online services and more. He founded Playful Efforts to provide research services that assist in the design, manufacture, and sale of products that encourage children to achieve their maximal creative and cognitive potential through play and other developmentally appropriate activities. In this video of Eric’s presentation at Dust or Magic he presents highlights of research conducted recently for Microsoft on user interface and input devices for kids in the living room environment.
