Abstract

In this paper we investigate how providing multiple output modalities
affects open-ended play with interactive toys. We designed a play object which
reacts to children’s physical behavior by providing multimodal output and we
compared it with a unimodal variant, focusing on the experience and creativity
of the children. In open-ended play children create their own games inspired by
the interaction with a play object. We show how the modalities affect the
number of games played, the type and diversity of games that the children
created, and the way children used the different feedback modalities as
inspiration for their games. Furthermore, we discuss the consequences of our
design choices on open-ended play.
