Neighbourhoodie is being touted as “the coolest gaming accessory for iPhone and iPod touch”.

People have really started to take notice of Neighbourhoodie, a prototype developed by Rose Bianchini, David McCallum, and Kathleen Climie, during the last session of the Telus Interactive Art & Entertainment Program at the CFC Media Lab.

Neighbourhoodie is a hoodie that combines the fun and dynamic of street games like ‘zombie tag’ with the technological experience space young people grow up with today, online or with computer games. The ‘Neighbourhoodie’ has the potential to motivate us to leaving not only the couch but the house by playing hybrid games that partly happen in the real world and partly in our all important virtual world.

Neighbourhoodie has been featured on top wearable electronics and gadget blogs, talk2myshirt.com and gizmodiva.com.

There are no limits to what you can create at the CFC Media Lab! Interested in being a part of our next session of the Telus Interactive Art & Entertainment Program? Click HERE.
