Designer Rob develops game technology for outdoor playgrounds. He believes that by adding technology and smart design, playgrounds can become attractive again for both youngsters and elderly.

“My passion is designing a new generation of play equipment, making use of the possibilities of technology, but in a way that feels natural and above all: is fun!”

Rob Tuitert is a product designer, designing interactive playground equipment. His idea worth spreading is to stimulate youth to go and play outside instead of sticking to their computers indoor, using advanced technology. Instead of saying the playstation is bad for the kids, we should embrace the technology and look at what makes it so appealing to the kids. Take that as the basis to design outdoor play spaces to get the best of both worlds: healthy and social outdoor play, together with the fun and advanced functions of games.
