When in a new country, can a new language act as a barrier that prevents people from discovering a whole new culture? 96 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
Focussing on one script- Hiragana, I created a simple paper prototype to quickly validate my idea and test different interactions for the user. I found the action of sliding the right image on top of a character seemed to work best for the testers.
To grow this idea further, I made a simple game mechanism for the users to retain their language learning while discovering stories from a new culture. This not only made the experience more enjoyable, but also ensured repeatability.
The key interaction: overlaying the right image over text.
Different levels in the game.
