Abstract

Nowadays, the access to new personal and portable digital equipment capable to reproduce all kinds of media content is getting increasingly easy. However, the presence of these new devices in the living room resulted in family members sharing the same physical space but not talking to each other. In this article, we intend to highlight these observations, as well to present a proposal based on a digital game, associated with television content, which has the potential to create an effect of discussion and conversation between those present in the living room. We will also highlight the way this game and its dynamics were designed, with the Interaction Design process in mind, to allow the game to reach its full potential: be fun and breed discussion.
