TagURIt: Electronic gaming on Lumalive e-textiles with proximity and touch sensing

We present an electronic game of tag that uses proximity sensing and lumalive displays on garments. In our game, each player is a location-tagged universal resource indicator (uri). the uris, one chaser and two target players, wear touch-sensitive lumalive display shirts. The goal of the game is for the chaser to capture a token displayed on one of the lumalive shirts, by pressing a touch sensor located on the shirt. When the chaser is in close proximity to the token player, the token jumps to the shirt of the second closest player, making this children's game more challenging for adults. Our system demonstrates the use of interactive e-textiles to remove the technological barrier between contact and proximity in the real world, and the seamless representation of gaming information from the virtual world in the real world.
