Based on fairytales, "mü" is an interactive multimedia device, targeted at 5-6 year old French kindergarten children. Through individualised or group activities, this multi-touch interface is designed to facilitate the development of social behaviour, autonomy and imagination by sensitising children to music, sound and creativity. Tangible objects representing fairytale characters are placed on a square tabletop screen, where they can be manipulated to interact in creative or game-style activities. A record of the child's work is subsequently stored in their own personal electronic folder, which can be uploaded onto the "mü" website via WI-FI for parental perusal. Under the watchful and encouraging eye of the teacher, "mü" is guaranteed to make learning creative and fun!
