Designing for Transformative Play by: Jon Back, Elena Marquez Segura, and Annika Waern
This paper could serve as a very useful base behind my current project for designing editable physical engineering mechanisms within the Unity game engine. I could use this idea along with my toy to look into creating a more open, user defined play area. This paper focuses on play designed in an open way.
Some Important Key Words:
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Human-Centered Computing
- Interaction Design
- Interaction Design Theory
- Explorative Play
- Creative Play
- Transformative Play
Further Topics to Look Into:
- Ludic Design by Gaver et al.
- Stenros Thesis on foundational theory of play
