Abstract

This paper outlines the design of the Social and Spatial Interactions platform. The design of the platform was inspired by observing people's pervasive use of mobile technologies. The platform extends the current individual use of these devices to support shared co-located interactions with mobile phones. People are able to engage in playful social interactions on any flat surface by using devices fitted with wireless sensors that detect their current location with respect to each other.
