Abstract

This workshop aims at discussing the rich possibilities that the body offers to experience the external world and the prospects that arise for interaction designers when these often-neglected abilities are taken into account. In particular, the workshop will focus on the rediscovery of the five senses, either alone or in a multimodal combination, and of the perceptual-motor abilities of our body. The one-day workshop is divided in two steps: first, participants will have the possibility to briefly present and discuss with the other attendees their research. Workshop candidates are requested to send a position paper, including a short biography and detailing their research interests and background. Second, participants will have the possibilities to explore and rediscover their sensorimotor abilities through several exercises and games abilities using a critical design approach. Interdisciplinary groups will be challenged to design and develop new interaction experience concepts using our natural 'tools' as prototyping tools.
