Exercising Playfully: Co-designing Fun Ways of Keeping Active in the Park

Abstract

In this work in progress paper we present our work in the co- design of a playful interactive artifact that encourages people to engage in casual physical activity in the park. The initial testing of our proof-of-concept prototype received extremely positive feedback as a potential way of motivating people to keep active in the park and in bridging the generation gap.
