I.play

i.play, also known as the Intelligent Play System [http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/viewarticle.aspx?id=522873 "A Playground for the 3rd Millennium", North-West Evening Mail] ] is an interactive playground [http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/iplay_intelligent_play_system_by_playdale_6737.asp "i.play intelligent play system by Playdale", Core77.] ] designed in collaboration between Progressive Sports Technologies Ltd and Playdale Playgrounds.

The i.play has switches and lights which light up and make sounds, requiring participants to push them to earn points.

The development and evaluation of the i.play system is being conducted by Phil Hodgkins as part of a Ph.D in Sports Technology at Loughborough University.

The world's first i.play system was opened to the public at Barrow Park, Barrow-in-Furness, UK on the 20th July 2007. [ [http://www.sport-kit.net/proddetail.cfm?story=Playdale's%20world%20first%20for%20Barrow%20Park&code=5505&codeID=47873 sport-kit.net] ]
