			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sniff <a href="http://www.norskdesign.no/design-for-alle/sniff-et-spill-for-alle-basert-paa-memory-prinsippet-article2988-339.html">has won</a> the prize for Design for All at <a href="http://www.norskdesign.no/unge-talenter/category555.html">Unge Talenter 2008</a> (Young Talent 2008) from the Norwegian Design Council. The project is acclaimed for its inclusive design that encourages playful activity, particularly for overcoming spoken or physical barriers to communication between people of different ages and abilities. It also gets praised for its self-explanatory approach to play and its appropriate use of technology. </p>
	<p>Previously Sniff won <a href="http://www.nearfield.org/2007/06/sniff-wins-prize-for-design-for-all">AHO&#8217;s prize for Design for all</a>, and has been included as one of <a href="http://www.nearfield.org/2008/01/50-things-places-and-people-for-2008">Dagbladet&#8217;s trends for 2008</a>.</p>

	<p>Here is the feedback from the jury, in Norwegian:</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>&#8220;Sniff er et veldig morsomt spill som inkluderer alle. Det er lett å forstå, og stiller krav til barna uten å kreve forkunnskaper eller stigmatisere. Bruk av <acronym title="Radio Frequency IDentification (A method of identifying unique items using radio waves. This is typically achieved with communication between a scanner or reader and a tag that contains data on a microchip)">RFID</acronym>-teknologi, som sender ut et signal og skaper kommunikasjon mellom kosedyret og figurene, gjør spillet til en innovasjon på sitt område.</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>&#8220;Tilgang til forskjellige brikker med ulike lyder og funksjoner, gir spillet imponerende mange variasjonsmuligheter. Det fins også <acronym title="Radio Frequency IDentification (A method of identifying unique items using radio waves. This is typically achieved with communication between a scanner or reader and a tag that contains data on a microchip)">RFID</acronym>-klistremerker, som man kan gjemme rundt i huset og lage enda en ny lek med. Sniff er rett og slett en kjempegod idé, som på en nyskapende måte tar i bruk ny og spennende teknologi.&#8221;</p>
	</blockquote>
	<blockquote>
		<p>&#8220;Utformingen er tydelig rettet mot barn, men spillet kan utmerket godt brukes av alle mennesker i alle aldersgrupper. Det egner seg svært godt som en døråpner mellom mennesker når språkbarrierer eller fysiske begrensninger hindrer dem i å kommunisere.&#8221;</p>
	</blockquote>
	<p>If you want to try out Sniff for yourself, the exhibition will be open from 27 March until 27 April at <a href="http://www.norskdesign.no/om-norsk-designraad/kontakt-oss-article309-222.html">DogA</a> in Oslo. The <a href="http://www.nearfield.org/2007/12/bowl-token-based-media-for-children">Bowl</a> project will also be exhibited.</p>
	<p>If you like Sniff you will be happy to hear that <a href="http://sniff.sarades.no/">Sara Johansson</a> and the Touch project are <a href="http://sniff.sarades.no/">developing Sniff 2.0</a> that includes a revised physical design, new feedback and interactional possibilities.</p><h4>Related things:</h4><p><ol>
