In conjunction with CHI 2016, San Jose, CA, USA (http://chi2016.acm.org)
The goals of our one-day CHI 2016 workshop are to:
* Strengthen and broaden the community of pervasive play researchers and practitioners,* Explore design frameworks for creating novel pervasive play experiences, and* Identify key research questions, methods, and challenges for future research in this area.

We have organized our workshop themes under the following three categories:
* Theory Development
– Frameworks describing core characteristics, mechanics, and genres of pervasive play
– Research methods for studying pervasive play
– Theoretical constructs related to pervasive play and related concepts
– Historical roots of pervasive play
– Comparative analyses of pervasive games & play
– Narratological perspectives on transmedia design
* Design
– Mobile and augmented reality technologies that support context-aware games
– Design of interactive wearable technologies that extend social and spatial boundaries of existing games and play experiences
– Novel interaction techniques appropriate for pervasive play
– Game mechanics and design patterns that support pervasive games and play experiences
– Pervasive game teardowns and case studies
– Techniques for developing and prototyping pervasive play experiences
– Toolkits for supporting pervasive play experiences
– Application areas for pervasive play with positive social, physical, scientific, or educational purposes
– Opportunities and challenges that arise from bringing pervasive games into everyday life
– International and cross-cultural perspectives on pervasive play
* Society
– Application areas for pervasive play with positive social, physical, scientific, or educational purposes
– Opportunities and challenges that arise from bringing pervasive games into everyday life
– International and cross-cultural perspectives on pervasive play
