Pillow Fight!

I wanna play together!

枕頭戰！我要我們憶起玩

Interaction Design & Cross-disciplinary Applied Design

2018 - 2019

Pillow Fight is a inter-generational game which is including pillows as operating interface and a tablet. We emphasize care between generations, with the main goal of allowing the elderly to enjoy the time with their family and enhance the relationship while exercising their physical bodies.

We propose the concept that adaptive design with technology should be hidden in our daily life. For the purposes of creating friendly use and providing entertainment, the main concept of design is to replace the controllers or joysticks seen into the common object in daily life: pillows, are used to design a video game, which is full of interaction and fun that can be easily operated for the elderly to control by punching or tapping on the pillow.

This makes the whole activity interesting and reduces the burden of the operation, promoting emotional bonding between the family members and their joy of living and playing together.

「枕頭戰 Pillow Fight」是一款由枕頭和平板電腦組成的互動遊戲，我們以跨世代之間的關懷為出發點，主要目標是讓家裡的老年人更能夠享受與家人在一起的時光，增進彼此的關係，並在遊戲的同時也能夠鍛煉身體。

為了創造更友善使用的遊戲情境，團隊的理念強調趣味性、可適性、易用性的設計，希望將技術隱藏在我們的日常生活中，因此選擇使用了在日常生活熟悉的物品：枕頭來作為遊戲的操作物件，並透過簡單的拍打枕頭的操作即可控制螢幕遊戲介面。希望減少銀髮族對新事物的排斥，並提升對於遊戲的參與度，讓科技發揮最佳輔助。

此互動遊戲的互動性及樂趣，讓各地年齡層的人都可以非常容易上手，促進了家庭成員之間的情感，使大家能夠一起同樂。
