INTERACTION DESIGN

GOPLAY

goPlay utilizes the benefits of ubiquitous high bandwidth technology to enable participatory healthy lifestyles. The goPlay service connects people with similar interests to outdoor activities in real time from mobile and fixed contexts. We have utilized a variety of methods to address comfort and safety concerns including makeTools, collaborative design sessions, paper prototyping, and think aloud protocol. User centered research revealed that safe and comfortable real world connections are possible when the environment is developed upon a model of familiarity. The project was selected to present at the 2006 Microsoft Design Expo.
