ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method of electronically simulating a predetermined activity (e.g., playing with toys, playing a musical instrument, working with tools, etc.) in response to input by an infant or very young child. The method of the present invention requires the use of a computer (or processor), a display screen, and a keyboard (or input wand or other input device). During play, the user provides an input signal by banging on the keyboard (or shaking the input wand or activating other input devices). The processor in turn, responds to each input signal by presenting on the display screen the next in succession of a group of consecutive sets of audiovisual subsequences whereby an audiovisual simulation of a predetermined activity automatically progresses. According to this method, an infant or very young child can easily interact with a computer accurately simulating various interesting activities.
