Press campaign about Playful Interactions

Recently, I’ve been featured in the TU/e press campaign, about playful persuasion, playfit, and my vision. Photos, a commercial on national television, and a 1-minute video about my work. Clearly a commercial, but still - a nice overview of my work!

Course: games in the swimming pool

35 students from 3 education programs, 40 teenagers, a swimming pool, and 7 interactive games in the water: the course swimgames.nl was a great success!
In this course, developed and lectured by Menno Deen and myself, our students designed and developed interactive games in the swimming pool. Cameras, RFID readers, buttons: it was all added to the Tongelreep swimming pool, and evaluated right away by eager teenagers.

Hart van Nederland, a national news agency, also covered us in a news feature.

More information can be found at Swimgames.nl

Together with Tilde Bekker and Ben Schouten, I published a long paper for the BHCI 2011 conference, about my curious-action project.
