To attract children’s attention, this study utilizes anthropomorphic little monsters with traits such as timidity, gluttony, playfulness, and adventurousness. These cute, approachable characters help children project their emotions and imagination onto them. Our research integrates AI, the Internet of Things, and interactive design to develop the AIoT Anthropomorphic Monster Interaction System, planned for implementation at Science Theme Park during Halloween. We designed a "palm monster generator box" that lets children insert their hands into a black box. The AI program then generates a unique, cute monster based on the shape and posture of the child’s palm. The system projects a nighttime forest scene onto the wall. Children can use a mobile phone installed with the corresponding app to walk in front of the nighttime forest wall and shake the phone to awaken the monster they created, and play and interact with it. They can also take their little monster home through a "scoop-up" action using the mobile phone and share it on social media. Through the development and implementation of this system, we aim to explore the emotional impact of Kawaii Theory on children—specifically, whether anthropomorphic monster design enhances joy and engagement. Additionally, we aim to examine whether our interactive design can provide children with a "safe sense of adventure." Monsters usually symbolize the "unknown," "adventure," or "a world different from reality." When anthropomorphized, this adventure becomes "controllable" and "cute," allowing children to experience adventure and challenges in a safe environment.
