Digital Capital Week

Play It Forward is an interactive, motion-sensing installation that activates play and movement by automatically donating a small amount of money each time someone plays with it. The objective is to encourage everyone to get out and be active while helping charity at the same time! The installation will draw from an initial donation stipend which can be increased by organizations or individuals who want to encourage further giving and play.

The installation, inspired by the geometry of movement, is sculptural in form and was constructed using the latest in digital fabrication methods. Strategically located sensors on the piece identify activity and respond with visual feedback. There will be a digital read-out showing the amount of money that has been donated through play, and using the latest in mobile web technology players will be encouraged to spread the word about their experience with their social networks.
