1. David England Liverpool John Moores University Whole Body Interaction: Opportunities and Challenges

2. Liverpool Liv. Pic

3. Non-Photorealism Wet and Cockshott, England, Waite - movement (and mapping) qualities of paint

4. Workshops First Workshop Liverpool: Whole Body Interaction: The Future of the Human Body - 2007 Interdisciplinary workshop of artists and scientists Fitted in with FACT’s Future of the Human Body Exhibition Subsequent workshops at CHI2009, CHI2010 and ACE2011

5. Why Whole Body Interaction A reaction against: {Virtual, Mixed, Augmented} Realities Mobile, Ubiquitous Interaction Where the focus became/is increasing the technology and not the person or people interacting

6. WBI But more positively... A reaction to Bill Buxton’s Challenge to create interfaces that made fuller and better use of human capabilities And a reaction in favour of embodied/located action- following Suchman’s work on Plans and Situated Action

8. “Naturalism” Scot mentioned non-photorealism yesterday Central to discussions of mappings in WBI Current move to NUI may be misleading Is the most “natural” mapping also the most engaging interesting effective.... ? Compare Randal Smith’s continuum of Literal to Magical mappings in the ARK

9. Mixed Hello Open source camera vision work by Josh Nimoy - jMyron toolkit - edge detection

10. C0d3 Multi-device work by Caen Botto MAXMSP - Magic of the Spell “Magic Mapping”

11. Evolution Challenge Evolution of devices and technology WBI == movement, physiology, emotion, context, location, social connection etc etc. But emotional inference, for example, currently has 70-80% recognition rates with a small range of emotions

12. Autonomic models Our solution: the triangulation of inferences by combining multiple sources Works on the principle of Autonomic Computing (invented by IBM) for self- managing systems WBI interfaces and modules can be plugged in and replaced as they evolve

13. Future CHI2012 Community of Digital Arts - David England, Jill Fantuzacoffin Various Activities at the conference CHI2013 in Paris - the Digital Arts Community will continue We invite you to submit, participate, debate
