However, how to design games that engage people with the inside of their body, such as their intestines, is relatively unknown. This thesis introduces ingestible sensors – sensors that can be swallowed – to design ‘ingestible play’. The thesis presents human-computer interaction guidance for the design of such games, contributing to a more playful and humanised technology future.
