Abstract

In this paper we describe an exploratory design study of the potentials of taste as a playful interaction modality. We present the design and implementation of LOLLio -- an interactive lollipop that serves as a haptic input device that dynamically changes its taste. We conclude this paper with three basic principles for potential game designs, where we see how the interactive lollipop we have built can foster novel, playful game experiences.
