Embodied Interactions for Spatial Design Ideation: Symbolic, Geometric, and Tangible Approaches
Computer interfaces are evolving from mere aids for number crunching into active partners in creative processes such as art and design. This is, to a great extent, the result of mass availability of new interaction technology such as depth sensing, sensor integration in mobile devices, and …

Movement, Technological Mediation and Embodied Interactions, in the Education of children with autism.
The thesis offers insight into an embodied practice informed by childhood development studies, cognitive science, and pedagogy as an iterative approach to develop creative alternatives to the application of solo engagement with technologies in the education of autistic children. Through the diverse …

An Examination of Presence and Engagement in Video Conferencing Systems and Virtual Environments
… We also proposed a new system design to support embodied interactions in XR. This system was tested by measuring the communication latency between two collaborators separated by varying distances. Our system performance evaluation suggests the feasibility of support embodied interactions, with a …

Shells and Stages for Actuated TUIs: Reconfiguring and Orchestrating Dynamic Physical Interaction
… (HCI) has been explored widely to design embodied interactions using digital computation has been explored widely. While advanced technical approaches, such as robotics and material science, have led to many concrete instances of Actuated TUIs, a single actuated hardware system, in …

BREAKING BREAD, SHAPING UNDERSTANDING: THE ECO-FOOD COMMUNITY AS COGNITIVE SYSTEM
… I employ insights from Conversation Analysis and Embodied Cognition Theory to examine the discursive practices of a group of interactants who operate in what I describe as a group cognitive system. While studies on embodied cognition have been done on both individuals and groups involved in …

Augmented material interfaces : exploring bidirectional microinteractions enabled by radical elements
… capabilities in order to create comprehensible interactions. This thesis explores the space of augmented materials that are bidirectional transducers, called radical elements. We present currently available radical elements that facilitate embodied interactions through sensing and actuation …

Social Inclusion in and around Visual Arts Activities: Epistemic Practices in a Preschool Context
… Proposing three processes –communication, embodied interactions, and agency – as central to the culture of inclusion and exclusion, I argue that it is more useful to look at inclusive education as an epistemic practice, a set of processes, where specific classroom dynamics construct a …

Intuitive Audio Interaction and Control in Multi-Source Environments
… a persistent challenge. This thesis explores how embodied interactions—primarily head tracking, alongside experiments with gaze tracking, speech commands, and audio-visual segmentation—can enhance user control over complex auditory environments. By linking head orientation to volume adjustments, …

Making meaning out of mountains : skiing, the environment and eco-politics
… ski resorts. Through a focus on discourse, embodied interactions among humans and non-humans, and flows of power, this research describes an environmental ambiguity at the centre of skiing. There is a tension between interpretations of skiing as an environmentally-sustainable practice and …

Modernity, mobility, and materiality in E. M. Forster’s fiction
… human-world relations, this thesis reveals embodied activities as central to developing and showing people’s identities and social relations in E. M. Forster’s fiction. The materiality of the world is prevalent in his literary works where the textures of places, objects, and things are …

Hacking into the emotion-creativity link Two new approaches to interactive systems that influence the relationship between emotion and creativity
… during a creative task. We demonstrate that embodied interactions designed based on motor expressions, while used to interact with a system, can influence an intended emotion, and thereby influence the relationship between emotion and creativity. The second approach that we developed enables …

Engaging with Motor Neurone Disease
… go on to suggest that a geographical agenda for embodied engagements might be useful for others seeking to take a spatially and emotionally attentive approach to engagements. This project assembles the components that come together to make engagements and sometimes, to undo them. Informed by the …

Cinemacraft: Exploring Fidelity Cues in Collaborative Virtual World Interactions
… (VEs) and how sensory fusion can improve these interactions. VEs present new possibilities for mediated communication by placing people in a shared 3D context. However, there are technical constraints in creating photo realistic and behaviorally realistic avatars capable of mimicking a person's …
