Abstract
In our project “Childhood Memories,” we take you on a journey back to one of our favorite
childhood memories—puppet theatre. This 4me, we’ve reimagined it with a modern touch. We
developed a fully
automated version of the tradi4onal puppet theatre that requires no puppeteers. Everything
can be controlled through a web page that is easily accessible from a mobile phone.
The theatre operates in three different modes. The first mode allows users to manually control
each puppet individually. You can move its hands, legs, or the en4re body leU and right. This
makes puppet control simple—no training in using strings is required; just press a buVon and
the puppet moves.
The second mode, which is the core of the project, plays preprogrammed stories. Users can
choose from a list of stories available in both English and Arabic. As each story plays, the theatre
ac4vates various effects based on the story’s ac4ons, including rain, mist, internal LED ligh4ng,
and RGB lights around the theatre to enhance the experience.
The third mode includes voice recogni4on. Users can have simple conversa4ons with the
puppets using specific voice commands in either Arabic or English. The puppets respond and
interact accordingly, crea4ng an engaging and dynamic interac4on.
This project brings back the joy of puppet theatre, adding a modern, interac4ve twist through
current technology.
