FOSTERING EMBODIED LEARNING THROUGH INTERACTIVE STORYTELLING WITH
MULTISENSORY INTERFACES
In the example of photographs, they are often viewed with our singular sense of sight, not involving other senses such as touch or sound. Yet, this visual-focused medium still tells us a unique story.
Can you understand the story here?
However, exploring the inclusion of other senses when we look at photographs can help its storytelling and further our understanding. Let's add a soundscape and observe.

Multisensory Narratives

Multisensory experiences are the core of most of our living experiences. Within daily tasks such as brewing coffee or wearing our shoes, we engage a combination of senses to help us effectively complete these tasks. From this humane familiarity with Multisensory Experiences lies sensorial principles and cognitive frameworks which guides designers how to design Multisensory Experiences that captures users engagement and faciliate meaning making. This research aims to harness these principles and frameworks to design a Multisensory Interface that augments Embodied Learning with touch and sound.
