Abstract

The Funki Buniz Playground is an environment where children can interact with each other simultaneously in both a virtual world -- through their avatars -- and the real world, which we built to study cross cultural affective responses and multi-cultural empathy. This paper describes some of the interaction design challenges we encountered while implementing the Funki Buniz Playground, as well as the constraints and solutions we discovered.
