“…(Christensen et al, 2019)). As our review above shows, contrasting to the use of DST in formal education which is driven by predetermined learning outcomes, at home, the expressive possibilities of DST can offer potential opportunities to mediate family identity and relations ((Koenig Kellas, 2005) (Vasalou et al, 2020b)). Our first RQ asks: What type of stories do children and parents co-create, and what purpose do these stories serve in the family?…”

“…Besides their expressive role, digital stories they argue can be transformative in the family allowing parents and children to see themselves in new ways. In a workshop designed to explore new opportunities for digital storytelling in the family, Vasalou et al (Vasalou et al, 2020a) also found that stories mediated family identity. One of their parent-participants involved invited her children to co-create stories, supporting them to learn how to handle challenging situations at home.…”

“…(WallbaumSwamy et al, 2017),), less attention has been given to DST designed for families and even less has been set in the home context to understand the role this technology might play in the family. Oral stories are a vital way for families to negotiate and construct a shared identity (Koenig Kellas, 2005) (Pahl, 2011) (Vasalou et al, 2020a). Highlighting the communicative and transformative nature of storytelling in the family, Kellas explains (Koenig Kellas, 2005) (pg.…”

“…Although GPs and GCs expressed a desire for an organized structure in storytelling, intergenerational storytelling is often improvised, and some form of flexibility in the story structure can be beneficial too [53,77]. For example, improvised oral storytelling relaxes the requirement that actions are strictly logical and allow the narrator to not follow a linear story structure [53].…”

Storytelling with family photos, as an important mode of reminiscence-based activities, can be instrumental in promoting intergenerational communication between grandparents and grandchildren by strengthening generation bonds and shared family values. Motivated by challenges that existing technology approaches encountered for improving intergenerational storytelling (e.g., the need to hold the tablet, the potential view detachment from the physical world in Virtual Reality (VR)), we sought to find new ways of using Augmented Reality (AR) to support intergenerational storytelling, which offers new capabilities (e.g., 3D models, new interactivity) to enhance the expression for the storyteller. We conducted a two-part exploratory study, where pairs of grandparents and grandchildren 1) participated in an in-person storytelling activity with a semi-structured interview 2) and then a participatory design session with AR technology probes that we designed to inspire their exploration. Our findings revealed insights into the possible ways of intergenerational storytelling, the feasibility and usages of AR in facilitating it, and the key design implications for leveraging AR in intergenerational storytelling.

Despite its benefits for children's skill development and parent-child bonding, many parents do not often engage in interactive storytelling by having story-related dialogues with their child due to limited availability or challenges in coming up with appropriate questions. While recent advances made AI generation of questions from stories possible, the fully-automated approach excludes parent involvement, disregards educational goals, and underoptimizes for child engagement. Informed by need-finding interviews and participatory design (PD) results, we developed StoryBuddy, an AI-enabled system for parents to create interactive storytelling experiences. StoryBuddy's design highlighted the need for accommodating dynamic user needs between the desire for parent involvement and parent-child bonding and the goal of minimizing parent intervention when busy. The PD revealed varied assessment and educational goals of parents, which StoryBuddy addressed by supporting configuring question types and tracking child progress.A user study validated StoryBuddy's usability and suggested design insights for future parent-AI collaboration systems.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); Natural language interfaces; • Social and professional topics → Children.
