Overview

What this project needed to do.

TaleCraft was built to turn passive reading into a more immersive storytelling experience. It gave users branching narratives, personalized recommendations, and tools to shape how stories unfold.

The project combined AI story generation with voice commands and hand gesture recognition, making it a strong exploration of emerging interaction design in mobile storytelling.
