| Abstract | We proposed a design idea of an interactive educational toy for children based on Japanese onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia "is a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing, such as animal noises like "oink" or "meow", or suggesting its source object". Thus, onomatopoeia words have interesting sound and rhythm. There are a large number of Japanese onomatopoeia words and in the Japanese language in particular, they are also used to describe phenomena apart from the purely auditive. With "Onomato Planets" we can create various Japanese onomatopoeia words and the corresponding sounds, through touch. The rules, by which these are created, are defined by the actual meaning of these words. Japanese onomatopoeia words contain many elements that are based on cultural background and experiences (called "Nonverbal elements"). For instance, sound intensity and gesture (movement, force) of the phenomenon being described are nonverbal elements of Japanese onomatopoeia. Through the interface we identify the strength and type of the impact and the gesture of the hand on a multi touch display, and then map this information to Japanese Onomatopoeia words characters and sound. Finally, we aim to provide an exciting experience of sounds and characters to the children who play "Onomato Planets". There is no previous work that introduces mappings between characters or words, to vocal and motion parameters. Therefore this project expands the expression of vocal to motion interactive art by relating gestures, sounds and characters (words). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
