Playful interaction

Playful Interaction is a conceptual vision of a future architectural office. The virtual video prototype illustrates ideas and concepts for playful interactions between people, materials and appliances in a pervasive working environment.

The pervasive healthcare virtual video prototypes have been used in a design workshop. The experience has been predominantly favourable. The production of a virtual video prototype forces the designers to decide very concrete design issues, since one cannot avoid paying attention to the physical, real-world constrains and to details in the usage-interaction between users and technology. From the users’ perspective, during our evaluation of the virtual video prototype, the experience was that the video prototypes it enabled users to relate to the practicalities and context of applied technology.
