Researchers Theme Outline
Social Playware is regarded as cyber-physical systems to support and enhance the experiences on play and social interaction among people by measuring and presenting physical contacts, spatial movement and facial expression. Several wearable or modular devices are used in this study, which enable behavior and affective measurements based on augmented human technology. It is aimed not only to integrate cyber and physical spaces by using developed wearable devices but also to help people develop their social ability throughout case studies involving children with pervasive developmental disorders.
