Submission for the Embarrassing Interactions Workshop: Playing with Embarrassment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are interested in embarrassing interactions as part of wider research that explores digital games in our public spaces through a lens of play. Embarrassing interactions are an important feature of play and an inevitable facet of pervasive games. In this abstract we discuss several inspirational designs where a wide range of play includes opportunity to explore, manage and leverage embarrassment. We describe our method for creating more “playful” games and discuss the type of interactions we expect to experience and capture. We then describe how these interactions are embodied in our design exemplar i-dentity and introduce our latest work and our early results.

People exhibit an ‘‘illusion of courage’’ when predicting their own behavior in embarrassing situations.

This illusion of courage occurs partly because of...
