Presence in Co-located Playful Interactive Environments
This presentation will address the phenomenon called "presence" in the context of gaming and playful activities. It will focus on co-located interactive environments in large display settings that allow the interaction between multiple actors. Inhabiting and modifying these spaces is granted via natural mapped interfaces that incorporate technologies such as position trackers as well as mobile & VR devices. Several design challenges arise when conceptualizing and creating experiences within the context of co-located and interactive playful environments: the issue under consideration regarding the talk will be the feeling of "being there" experienced by players.
