i.play
i.play, also known as the Intelligent Play System[1] is an interactive playground[2] designed in collaboration between and Playdale Playgrounds.
The i.play has switches and lights which light up and make sounds, requiring participants to push them to earn points.[2]
The development and evaluation of the i.play system is being conducted by Phil Hodgkins as part of a Ph.D in Sports Technology at Loughborough University.[2]
The world's first i.play system was opened to the public at Barrow Park, Barrow-in-Furness, UK on 20 July 2007.[3]
