SUMMARY;ENCODING=8BIT;CHARSET=utf-8:Interaction Design Group Seminar DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=8BIT;CHARSET=utf-8:Frank Vetere and Hilary Davis\nExploring Intergenerational Play Across a Distance: Playgroups, Magic Boxes and Collages\n\nThis talk explores the nature of intergenerational play and opportunities for technologies to mediate playful activities; especially when grandparents and grandchildren are separated by time or distance or familial arrangements. We report on a three phase investigation. We start with field observations of playgroups, then report on a cultural probe study using a 'Magic Box' and finally present the results of intergenerational use of a shared domestic display.\n\n\n CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
