Abstract

In recent years, research has investigated the potential of voice-based interfaces and voice command devices in supporting young children's early education and development. This thesis aims to explore the potential of currently available interactive speakers that respond to voice commands in engaging and supporting early music education for young children aged 3 to 5 years old. In the first stage of this project, it was found that interactive speakers have the potential to support young children's active play and early music education. Despite these findings, there are multiple factors that lead to communication breakdowns due to the design of the current interactive speakers. As a result, suggestions for future ideations of interactive speakers for children will be made in this thesis.
