Limited control over the body as intriguing play design resource

Interest in combining interactive play and the human body, using “bodily play” systems, is increasing. While these systems primarily prioritize a player’s control over their bodily actions, we see intriguing possibilities in the pursuit of “limited control over the body” as an intriguing design resource for bodily pla…

InsideOut: Towards an Understanding of Designing Playful Experiences with Imaging Capsules

Imaging capsules are ingestible sensors that capture the video of one's gastrointestinal tract for medical diagnosis. We believe that the capsule’s experiential perspective is often overlooked by associated medical applications. This work explores the design of this experiential perspective through combining imaging c…
