Abstract

This research proposes augmenting physical experience with virtual sound effects designed to intrigue children's emotional experience and physical activities, and inspire their creativity. To explore this idea, we present Dramagic, a playful table that enhances authentic sounds occurring at the table with cartoon sound effects. To validate the proposed design, we conducted a field test to observe children interacting with Dramagic. The results indicate that augmented sounds promoted physical actions, such as touching, scratching, and rubbing. Moreover, children became more creative and tended to develop stories based on the playful sounds.
