3rd body as starting point workshop: Exploring themes for inbodied interaction research and design

Abstract

Inbodied Interaction focuses on understanding how the state of the body's internal processes affects human performance, with a goal of aligning interactive technology to support all aspects of human performance - cognitive, social, physical. In this third Body As Starting Point workshop, we aim to bring together insights from the past two workshops and the 2019 Inbodied Interaction Summer School to present and refine emerging themes and co-define case studies to further the state of Inbodied Interaction research and design practices. This one-day hands-on workshop invites newcomers and experts to help shape the future of Inbodied Interaction through the foundations we have co-created with previous participants. The key takeaways of the workshop are to review existing themes, formulate case studies, research questions, and form research teams to chart a path forward for HCI designs that take the body as a starting point.
