Into the AR Metaverse: Child Co-Design for cultural exchange in the UK and China<\/h1>

This paper presents work in progress from StoryFutures China (Royal Holloway, University of London and Brunel University), which is developing a novel Augmented Reality (AR) experience for and with children (aged 7-11 years) from the UK and China. Through exploring a theme of \u2018science and nature\u2019 between the UK\u2019s National Gallery and a partner museum in Shanghai, this immersive experience aims to stimulate children\u2019s interest in, and learning about art, art galleries, and the science of nature. In so doing, the experience is designed as part of a project exploring how to foster intercultural and economic exchange between cultural institutions in the UK and China. <\/p>\n

Whilst such an exchange is a complicated and difficult process, involving finding points of common understanding and shared benefit across economic, IP, reputational and workflow issues, the child-led co-design process has found nimble, engaging and funny ways to facilitate a cultural exchange between the UK and China. Through the children\u2019s co-design in Roblox, Zoom and real world platforms, the project has developed a magical metaverse for the immersive AR experience that binds together cultural institutions across the world in the shared goal of protecting cultural treasures. <\/p>\n

This paper will discuss the contributions of this project to co-design methods and participatory research with children in intercultural contexts. It will reflect on the various ways children became involved in the co-design process, highlighting its successes and challenges. The paper will evaluate effective ways to initiate and sustain methods that enable children to be involved as active agents at different stages of the design process, and that allow children and adults to work together as design partners. In so doing, the children play a pivotal role in facilitating and enabling the cultural and economic exchange of the adult stakeholders. <\/p><\/p><\/div>
