"toBed" is a concept for a platform for interactive bedtime stories on the iPhone. It makes use of the devices innovative input methods like multitouch gestures, accelerometer or localization to create new ways of interactive narration.

The shown prototype application contains the interactive narrative „Stars and Fish which employs various input methods and presents an intuitive interface.
The concept also features the in-app-purchase of additional stories. Users can build their own collection of interactive bedtime stories.

"toBed" is my B.A. thesis at the HAWK University for applied Sciences and Art, Hildesheim, Germany. Info about the university: hawk-hhg.de/gestaltung/155189.php

    Cool idea. Looks very nicely built too! Are you planning to sell it? Or get people to write stories for it and give them a share of the sales? Or is it just a thesis? :)

  • Glad you like it! I am not planning on selling it right now because it is still only a prototype to show the experience the concept could deliver.
    As a commercial app it would need far more content, also the personalization features shown at the end are still only conceptual.
    Right now I am thinking about skipping the title screen and distributing the story "stars and fish" over iTunes for free.
