James McIntyre discusses playful technology and proposes an app called Leka. Play is described as improvisational, explorative, and a way to learn without pressure. Playful technology removes expectations and goals to encourage experimentation. Mobile devices have advanced functionality that is tightly controlled. Leka would be a digital making platform that gives users accessible and fun control over sensors and features on their mobile devices through tangible interaction, allowing for discovery and collaboration.

- 1. PLAYFUL TECHNOLOGY! James McIntyre MA Interaction Design Malmo Hogskola Interaction 13 Student Design Challenge
- 2. What is play?! Improvisational Make Believe Explorative Subversive
- 3. Play is the iterative design process of learning Past cues can inform future behavior A way to try things out, understand, learn with no pressure or fear of mistake
- 4. Playful Technology! Non intimidating Re-contextualizing or Liberating Data Removing expectations and goals to encourage experimentation Building on the Maker movement
- 5. Where this might be used?!! We are walking around with a lot of advanced technology already Mobile devices are ubiquitous yet tightly controlled We might not really be able to use the functionality of this technology unless we have an app that allows us to
- 6. Design Opening! There is a gap between what we might want to do with our technology, and what we are able to do.
