Abstract

Mobile ActDresses is a design concept where existing practices of accessorizing, customization and manipulation of a physical mobile device is coupled with the behaviour of its software. With this interactivity demonstrator we will provide a hands on experience of doing this kind of playful manipulation. We provide two examples for how to implement Mobile ActDresses using quick'n dirty hacks to create custom shells and jewellery for controlling the behaviour of the phone.
