“…Furthermore, there are many opportunities to push interaction possibilities as we think about the player as a resource in themselves (e.g. [12,20]. Throughout this background work authors share a consensus that play should be "heads up" (see [22]).…”

We describe a Research-through-Design (RtD) project that explores the Internet of Things (IoT) as a resource for children's free-play outdoors. Based on initial insights from a design ethnography, we developed four RtD prototypes for social play in different scenarios of use outdoors, including congregating on a street or in a park to play physical games with IoT. We observed these prototypes in use by children in their free play in two community settings, and report on the qualitative analysis of our fieldwork. Findings highlight material qualities that encouraged social and physical play under certain conditions, suggesting social affordances that are central to the success of IoT designs for free-play outdoors. We provide directions for future research that addresses the challenges we faced when deploying IoT with children, contributing new considerations for interaction design with children in outdoor settings and free play contexts.

“…Social wearables have been defined as wearable technology that augments co-located social interaction [30]. Such technologies have already been developed from early experiments with digital badges [15] to displays integrated into clothes [10,11] and accessories [7] to augmented reality fashion [17,29,40].…”

“…In the area of social wearables and dynamic fabrics, research has started using co-design [9,30] and auto-ethnography [29] to study wearables in context. Mackey and colleagues [29] argue for ongoing research to "include explorations in genuine social contexts".…”

“…In human-computer interaction, the potential of wearables to augment collocated social interactions has received considerable attention [9,22,36]. These social wearables [9,30] exist in the form of smart textiles, digital accessories and physical devices for gaming or collaborative work [6,9,10,20,31,37,38]. Recent works have implicitly contributed to this field by adding interactivity and digital expression into accessories, textiles or cosmetics [11,23,48].…”

“…Research has started investigating digital expression in wearables in the context of co-design of live-action role-playing [8,9,30] and an auto-ethnographic study [29], which showed design can be informed by investigating the social factors of dress. Fashion and design studies [13,14,29] and HCI and CSCW scholars [24,25,53] alike argue for a perspective into socio-cultural practices.…”
