Designing game logics for dynamic Active Surfaces

Grönvall, Erik ; Pollini, Alessandro ; Rullo, Alessia and Svensson Fors, David LU (2006) MUIA '06, Workshop on Mobile & Ubiquitous Information Access
Abstract
This paper describes the development of a modular system of

interactive tiles to support therapists’ in performing

therapeutic activities together with impaired children in a

swimming pool.



Active Surfaces support mobile interactions and dynamic

configuration of assemblies of tiles. Each tile represents an interactive unit, able to communicate with other tiles and to exchange data. The tiles can be assembled on a physical and logical service level to support activities of different complexity. This creates technical challenges where assemblies are re-created over time between devices with limited input and output capabilities. Furthermore, Active Surfaces challenge the concept of... (More)

Furthermore, Active Surfaces challenge the concept of understandability and how users can make sense of assembled systems with no or limited output capabilities. (Less)
