jogo is a tabletop tangible music interface that has been developed to explore the potential of open-ended play materials and music making as a way of encouraging free play. A prototype of jogo has been developed as part of ongoing research to investigate how the provision of a tangible play experience can encourage both children and adults to play freely in a more physical way, while socially interacting with others around them.

This summer I attended the International Interaction Design and Children Conference in Barcelona where I had a short paper and poster discussing jogo as a tool for physical and social play for children. You can find a link to this in the writing section.
