This is the next step of my interaction research project. Due to practical reasons, the topic of research was changed. Now it is aimed at games as I am involved in making two games (board game, interactive&electronic game), and data from research could support them.
First of all, I would like to thank to all 59 participants that have contributed so far. There have been interesting stories, i feel that they have given pretty broad insight of what do people associate games with, and how they characterize good games.
There is a need to look on data in more depth and from different angles, and that will be done in nearest time (we have only 20+ until deadline after which no more data allowed). Meanwhile, we were given a very important lecture by Ben on how important it is to pick and speak about concepts wisely (Blumer, H. (1954). What is wrong with social theory? American Sociological Review, 19(1), 3-10. & Wittgenstein, L. (1958). Philosophical investigations (2nd ed.). Oxford: Blackwell.).
We have set a date (November) for the workshop where we are going to generate ideas on our board game.
While today we had electronics refreshment class, where we made quick and dirty prototype for measuring on which feet you are holding weight. Or, your can as well think of this prototype as a gameof competing who’s got the strongest pressure with feet.
We have got an inspiration for extertion game with feet from our Movement workshops with Sietske Klooster.
