PI_playful interaction

pPLAY is a project group working on Public, Physical & Playful interaction.
Their goal is to practice Physical computing and Audio-Visual data visualization as
a tool for communicating between people & digital media.

Objective
Sparks appear. Now the people have introduced themselves and shared personal information. This is the “aha!” moment where they figure out that they are not total strangers to each other anymore.

Goals
The interactive ball, “PI (Playful Interaction),” makes the connection between people strengths and expand the meaning of the space by giving a playful interaction between human & digital media. PI can communicate with people with colorful lights and sounds that make the ball seems to be alive. While the lights of PI represents the visual transformation of people’s kinetic energy, the sound, musical tone of people form different sex, age and nationality, generated by the interaction symbolizes the harmony among people. It tells us that the digital media should be an intermediation, giving people shared experiences.
