Diversionary Therapy

This project involves a collaboration with the ACID (AustralAsian Center for Interaction Design), who has developed a new gaming and digital storytelling platform for use by kids in burn units. ACID has organized research testing with 15 hospitals in the US, and are looking for content development for their platform. The Institute of Play has arranged to work with graduate students from three graduate programs-Parsons Design and Technology, NYU ITP, and Carnegie Mellon-to design a series of small games for ACID in Fall 2007.
