When children play with toy cars they tell stories, adding their own narration, voice-overs, and special effects. The HotCam is a manual control toy car with an onboard video camera and microphone. The car enables children to record certain "scenes" in their own stories. They can then "play" the captured scenes through a TV, re-experience their stories and share them with parents, siblings and friends in a similar way to something as traditional and tangible as a painted picture or clay model.
