Tag-IT: embedding audio in objects and surfaces

Abstract

In this paper we present Tag-IT an interface that consists of a module and a set of tags in which children can record and then playback audio, the tags can be attached to objects and surfaces. Tag-IT allows users to create their own digital content without the need of a computer, which makes it flexible for various contexts. Tag-IT was used in a workshop in Iskandar– Malaysia in the scope of the ACE 2015 Children Creativity Labs. During the workshop children used Tag-IT to create their own activities, playfully engaging in collaborative work.
