Understanding digital play in moving spaces

Digital games have traditionally been confined to predefined play spaces such as arcades and living rooms. Recent advancements in technology have allowed players to play digital games beyond these spaces. However little theoretical knowledge exists that can guide the development of digital play beyond the conventional. I aim to conduct research that comprises of several experimental digital games deployed in unconventional play spaces that will broaden the understanding of where, how and with whom we play. This research may aid researchers and designers interested in digital play, ultimately taking a step towards creating a more playful society that can aid from the many benefits of play.
