Follow the White Rabbit is a demonstration showcasing a social robot that acts as a game master in an interactive tabletop role-playing game. In this project, the robot's performance is to be realized in two additional English variants that are then to be compared in terms of their impact on two qualities of user experience.
Funding and Collaboration
XRoads has been supported Pegasus Spiele, a german tabletop game distributor. The support includes basic game mechanics, digital assets for prototype implementations, as well as financial support for student workers.
The Dr.-Herbert-Brause-Stiftung funded the HCI group with 30.000 € dedicated to a multitouch table and a social robot.
