 INTRODUCTION  RELATED WORK ON BODILY APPROACHES IN INTERACTION DESIGN  TOWARDS THE CONCEPT OF KINESTHETIC INTERACTION  REVEALING THE BODILY POTENTIAL IN INTERACTION DESIGN  CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

 Need a concept framework for motion-based interface and interactive system  Focus on new domains of interaction  Focus on life style problems  Kinesthetic Interaction  A concept for understanding the bodily potential in interaction design

 Contribution  Describes a new direction in the design of technologically mediated bodily interaction  Concepts framework ▪ Three design themes ▪ Derive a set of design parameters from themes

 Embodied action as a foundation  Design principles for interactive system  Tangible computing, social computing  Role of the kinesthetic and haptic sense  Pragmatism  Experience-oriented design  Physical, sensual, cognitive and aesthetic modes

 Other direction exploring  Interaction design ▪ Gesture based interaction ▪ Exertion interfaces ▪ Full body interaction  Other factors?  Body / mind / space / skills  Need to establish a common ground

 Physiology  Five Sense  Get information -> Something action  Kinesthesis ▪ awareness of the position/movement of the body in space  Skill definition ▪ use the correct muscles to execute pre-determined actions with minimum outlay of time and energy  How/ when/ where

 Kinesthetic Experience  Kinesthetic sense + skills + other forms of sensation  Social and culture factors  Motor memory -> motor skills -> experience

 Interactive Technologies Wii Kinect EyeToy Suunto equipments

 Kinesthetic Design Themes  Kinesthetic development  Kinesthetic means  Kinesthetic disorder

 Kinesthetic Design Parameters  Engagement  Sociality  Explicit motivation  Implicit motivation  Movability  Expressive meaning  Kinesthetic empathy

 Conceptual Framework

 Discussion  Concept framework = a tool for Kinesthetic interaction ▪ can be used to redesign existing interactive systems ▪ for new design, can help identify possible areas of interest  It possible to imagine interactive systems that explore new configurations of themes and parameters.

 The conceptual framework  It is not exhaustive in describing all the aspects  It provides a way of articulating pertinent aspects when it comes to addressing the bodily potential in the design of interactive technologies  Future work  Developing working prototypes in real contexts via this concept framework
