Deployment of wearables for games has attracted the interest of designers and researchers both in academia and industry. However, few of these projects treat wearables as an integral part of the gameplay, often considering them as an extension of the central on-screen experience. While preliminary forays into wearable play show promise, we see a need for a rigorous design knowledge to illuminate the possibilities for the future of wearables for playful interaction design. In this lecture we will discuss on Design Framework for Playful Wearables stemming from the extensive research and hands-on experience. We will also illustrate how to utilize the framework in the design process.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
