IDG Seminar - Week 11
25 May
Frank Vetere and Hilary DavisExploring Intergenerational Play Across a Distance: Playgroups, Magic Boxes and CollagesThis 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.
