Read is an ETC project working with EA's OCCO

Read’s challenge is to explore the use of voice recognition to engage emergent and early readers in an interactive reading activity on EA’s connected TV platform. The project is designed for a child to experience independently as a fun and educational alternative to TV and other entertainment options. Using existing children’s stories and art, we hope to create meaningful interactions and feedback to make once static scenes come to life. By using existing books and artwork we are also exploring how to create a framework which allows for any book to be adapted into a digital experience quickly and easily. Our goal is to inspire the next generation to embrace reading actively.
