Item Inclusive Co-Design within a Three-Dimensional Game Environment(The 15th International Conference on Interaction Design and Children, 2016-06) Walsh, Greg; Donahue, Craig; Pease, ZacharyCo-design research with children is a field that continues to find new ground and expand as it explores new, and more ef- fective ways to design. As children become more enveloped in a world of technology and video games, it follows to lever- age these kinds of experiences for use in our design toolbox. In addition, continuing to explore how to include a larger global audience through distributed co-design can advance the design process. The study presented in this paper serves as a preliminary exploration of virtual sandbox game envi- ronments as a co-design tool. Utilizing a design inclusive research approach, we discuss what led us to explore this environment as a co-design tool, how it evolved over time, and our success in using it to include those who could not attend in-person sessions.Item KidCraft: Co-Designing within a Game Environment(33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2015-04) Walsh, Greg; Donahue, Craig; Rhodes, Emily E.Co-design research with children is a field that continues to find new ground and expand as it explores new, and more effective ways to design.
