SUMMARY:Situated Bodies, Wandering Minds: Games, Growth, and Wayfinding Ac
 ross Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Yuanyuan Xu (Tongji University, The University of British Colu
 mbia) and Yin-Shan Lin (Northeastern University)\n\nThis Birds of a Feathe
 r invites designers and researchers to explore how games, spatial narrativ
 es, and philosophical metaphors—such as Zhuangzi’s Wandering Beyond—can su
 pport cultural wayfinding, ecological storytelling, and relational design.
  Through examples ranging from Indigenous-informed educational games to ar
 chitecture and XR, we ask: how do we design for becoming, belonging, and f
 reedom?\nDiscussion Goals / Guiding Questions\nHow can philosophical ideas
  like Zhuangzi’s “wandering” inform interactive design?\nWhat does “wayfin
 ding” mean across digital, architectural, and cultural systems?\nHow can d
 esign foreground land-based knowledge and cultural protocols?\nHow do we d
 esign for complexity, multiplicity, and embodied storytelling?\n\nInterest
  Area: Research & Education\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Exp
 erience\n\n
