Supporting spatial skill learning with gesture-based embodied interaction
… the digital and physical worlds provided by embodied interaction has been shown to enhance performance and engagement in educational contexts. Spatial reasoning is a domain that lends itself naturally to embodied, physical interaction; however, there is little understanding of how embodied …

Embodied interaction with visualization and spatial navigation in time-sensitive scenarios
<p>Paraphrasing the theory of embodied cognition, all aspects of our cognition are determined primarily by the contextual information and the means of physical interaction with data and information. In hybrid human-machine systems involving complex decision making, continuously maintaining a high …

[I³] imitation, iteration and improvisation : embodied interaction in computational making and learning
… intuition is developed through skilled practice, interaction with materials, tools, and machines. Existing pedagogical approaches to design focus on outcomes and instructors' feedback to the students, neglecting the importance of the tools and the process itself. How, then, do we learn to make …

Do Gestural Interfaces Promote Thinking? Embodied Interaction: Congruent Gestures and Direct-Touch Promote Performance in Math
… cognition? Can direct touch support performance? Embodied interaction involving digital devices is based on the theory of grounded cognition. Embodied interaction with gestural interfaces involves more of our senses than traditional (mouse-based) interfaces, and in particular includes direct touch …

An Investigation of Craft Practice in the Design of Electronic Textiles (E-Textiles) for Embodied Interaction
… The tangible nature of e-textiles facilitates embodied forms of interaction to prompt actions through materials and activate our sensory awareness. Building on the work of Dourish, the research examines embodiment, meaning creation and sense perception for comprehending the nature of …

Designing mobile multi-touch drum sequencing applications
… Based on ideas from Avant-guard music and embodied interaction, a technology probe was created and then evaluated by a wide range of users. We found that for users with no musical training, and for users with a large amount of musical training, the software did allow them to be more …

Multimodal, Embodied and Location-Aware Interaction
… sensors to provide a continuous, rich and embodied interaction. We bring together ideas from the fields of gesture recognition, continuous multimodal interaction, probability theory and audio interfaces to design and develop location-aware applications and embodied interaction in both a …

Emotion-centered Data Physicalization in Social Media Contexts: Exploring Tangible Strategies for Emotional Awareness
… reflection, favoring symbolic and tactile interaction over verbal disclosure. The artifact acted as both a reflective tool and a subtle interruption to passive scrolling, prompting micro-reflections within digital routines. Participants valued its discretion, emotional safety, and ease of …

Measuring musical interaction: analysing communication in embodied musical behaviour
… thesis addresses the ubiquity and necessity of embodied interaction to musical activity, using video analysis to observe communication in musical events. Through the specific study of classical North Indian instrumental duo performance, the thesis examines how processes of social interaction may …
