Summary/Abstract: eShadow is a digital storytelling platform inspired by traditional Shadow Theatre. It enables the creation of digital stories within a project-based ap-proach that may start from scenario development and include the creation of digital puppets and sceneries, the set-up and recording of story scenes and the final assembly of a digital story. This paper presents details about eShad-ow architecture, features and how its use has been enhanced, employing the PerFECt framework, to combine it with immersive technologies such as pro-jection mapping, to create mixed reality installations that offer rich learning experiences to participants in informal learning settings. Two installations are described and compared. The evaluation results demonstrate the effective-ness of the approach towards engaging learning experiences that combine mixed reality approaches with arts such as black light theatre.
