Bursting the Mobile Bubble

Bursting the Mobile Bubble is a design program (i.e. design approach) aiming at designing collaborative, co-located experiences using mobile devices. In our research we have chosen to explore this field via games and gameplay design, since games open up the design space and allow for design solutions that may seem unusual at first but soon become mainstream. The issues we have found to be interesting arise from combining several connected devices: the division of private vs. public information and interaction; how to design for a co-located awareness, and how to support the design for connected devices.
