Developing a healthcare environment that is transformative (for pediatric patients and their families) affected by participants playful interventions. This alters perception of the environment by creating a sense of enchantment.
Enchantment is described by John Dewey as "being caught up and carried away" Jane Bennett
in Bennett,J The Enchantment iof Modern Life;attachments,crossings and ethics; 5
" Enchantment occurs at thresholds and assists us to shift,blur or cross those thresholds:

"Openness supports Playful engagement" Paul Dourish.
so open systems create vacuums for self discovery ( In Wilde's case through embodied practice).
Altering perceptions of healthcare environments through play(enchantment) and connectivity/connectedness?
This research will explore, within a children's healthcare environment, how participation, play and connectivity may contribute to improved healthcare outcomes for patients and families

Wide again (research process)
"My entire research process is characterized by a continual interweaving of ideation, textiles and materials research, electronics research, soft electronics development, garment engineering, movement explorations, participatory design processes and performative development. The result is an iterative process that concurrently and interdependently cycles through and across the different disciplines, maintaining embodied experience at its core".

Proprioception
Proprioception (
/ˌproʊpri.ɵˈsɛpʃən/ pro-pree-o-sep-shən), from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own" and perception, is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body and strength of effort being employed in movement.[1] It is distinguished from exteroception, by which we perceive the outside world, and interoception, by which we perceive pain, hunger, etc., and the movement of internal organs.

making visible how the world touches us
Merleau-‐Ponty claimed that the paintings of Cézanne “make visible how the world touches us".
So how does this apply to my concept of 'bringing the outside in?
does this respond to the idea of altering perceptions of environments through play and connectivity/connectedness?

research question again
Considering that meta question further-what if I take the 'healthcare' angle out of the question
-is the research about altering perceptions of environments through play and connectivity/connectedness? and then applying this through the use of situated technologies as 'design in action' to a children's healthcare context?
Research Title: Practice based investigation into transforming children and their families perceptions (experiences?) of healthcare environments through participation, play and connectivity (connectedness?)
Aims: This project will explore the affect of cooperatively altering a (healthcare) environment through the use of interactive situated technologies. Can the ability of children and their families to interact with the built healthcare environment in a playful and connected manner contribute to affecting feelings of anxiety,boredom and the quality of their healthcare experience?
This research will explore, within a children's healthcare environment, how participation, play and connectivity may contribute to improved healthcare outcomes for patients and families.
Question
Research Title
Practice based investigation into the relationship between dynamic environments and (patients and families experience of ) children's healthcare context.
Aims
This project will explore the affect of cooperatively altering a (healthcare) environment through the use of interactive situated technologies. Can the ability of children and their families to interact with healthcare environments in a playful and connected manner contribute to affecting anxiety and the quality of their healthcare experience?
This research will explore how people relate to each other and their spaces within a children's healthcare context.
Question
Can dynamic environments within a children's healthcare context affect children and their famalies experience of the health care environment?
investigating dynamic environments and how mobile devices could create new experiences on dynamic screens (through the use of situated technology) (balloons etc.), transformational creativity could be a more emphasised concept.
The concept of connectedness and sociability and how a distinction in participation and co-creation is established

Question
- Can playful interaction with physical surroundings affect children and their families experiences of the physical healthcare environment?
- Does connectedness with external 'agents' affect patients and families perception of the healthcare environment?
- Can a participatory design process enable children and their families to transform their experiences of the healthcare context?
