Sensor Based Play - Streetimals
Streetimals is a sensor-based play engine that can be used by children to support their outdoor play. The work responds to reports from play workers that children have had their play harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
My research interests are in exploring how we can connect with each other meaningfully through technology. I am particularly interested in more playful and novel interactions where we can leverage game design tools and thinking. Outside of Northumbria University, I make video games publishing under the BaaWolf indie games label.
