A Dialogue of the Senses - Designing Interaction with the Body in Mind

A comprehensive introduction to embodied cognition for designers of interactive artifacts, systems, and environments. In this introduction to embodied cognition and the design of interactive systems The world our devices bring into being is one that people experience by moving their bodies to elicit changes in the stimuli they pick up through their senses. O’Modhrain centers the role of movement in interaction design, introducing techniques of motion capture, design practices in movement-based interaction, and considerations of the many perceptual and motor skills that people bring to bear when they interact with their digitally augmented world through devices such as phones, home assistants, and VR gaming controllers.
