ZAP (2007 – 2009)

An Electronic Programme Guide developed with children during my PhD to assist preschoolers finding videos on interactive TV and Web. The prototype was tested with preschoolers in London (UK) and São Paulo (Brazil).
This research is supervised by Dr Lyn Pemberton and Richard Griffiths and funded by the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme (ORSAS), the Faculty of Management and Information Sciences and the University of Brighton research scholarships.

Little Bear, Big Bear  (2006)

During the workshop on Interactive Children’s Television at the Cinekid (Amsterdam), I developed a prototype intended to be a combination of a stuffed animal and a TV application, in which the child gets a Baby Teddy Bear to take care of and to teach numbers and letters while Papa Bear lives onscreen. The communication among the two bears occurs through the user, placing the child in a position of responsibility.

Toupee (2005)

Toupee combines an electronic programme guide with a navigation helper, an agenda and a virtual pet. The prototype was developed during the MSc on Digital Television Management and Production at the University of Brighton funded by the Alßan Scholarship, The European Union Programme of High Level Scholarships for Latin America (Scholarship no. E05M058491BR).

Interactive Snow White (2003)

This interactive version of the Snow White was part of the final year project during my first degree at the Federal University of São Carlos (Brazil). In this video the viewer is given opportunity to watch the original version of the fairy tale, but also offered a chance to interfere in the narrative and view different adaptations of the story.

Gastronomicidas (2003)

This interactive DVD was also developed during my first degree in media (Image and Sound) at the Federal University of São Paulo (Brazil). It features a cooking contest in which the viewer can choose the path of the story defining the winning chef.  

The Fatal Choice (2002)

This interactive video was supervised by Prof Dr. João Carlos Massarolo, funded by the National Council for Scientific and Technologic Development (CNPq) and awarded best scientific video at the IX EXPOCOM (Exhibition of Experimental Research in Communication).
