Shadowplay is a concept for a movable playground installation.
The basic idea was to incite children to play outdoors. I used the idea of affordance in design to create
a space in which the pieces create interactive shadows. I used shadows because they keep changing over the day depending on the position of the sun, which ensures that the game cannot be played in the dark - so the safety of playing outdoors in the dark is assured.
 
The video is a sketch of the game idea.
The pieces are scaled down mock-ups, of an intended size of 3 feet (approx.)
The toys are used to represent players/people.
