Non-verbal communication between a child and a parent becomes exceedingly impoverished when they stop living together. What is missing most in the relationship is the subtle exchange of gestures, spontaneous interactions, and communication through glances. The goal behind the MIM system is to allow and simplify photo communication between a child and their parents, turning it into a regular activity and a form of play, rather than a duty. The system inspires the child to express feelings and send photographs to parents more often, without disturbing the child’s sense of autonomy. For the parent, the interaction with the system is intuitive, and the photographs received give a sense of security regarding the child.
