A Study on Edutainment Authoring Environment to Create a Fairy-Tale for Kids

In this paper, we present an authoring tool to create a fairy-tale from a piece of paper. We reviewed fairy-tale authoring tools for children operating in the web or smart devices and examined the previous researches on story authoring tools or the way of supporting user's story creation. After we designed a paper for a child to paint characters and background environments and select two out of six story events, we have developed a smart device application. In this application, the paper in which characters and background were painted by a child is recognized first through the camera on smart device, and then a fairy-tale animation based on the child's painting and selection is provided. This authoring tool with digital device can be used as an assistant means to motivate children for analog educational activities like painting a picture by their own hands on an actual paper.
