From feeling forces to understanding forces: The impact of bodily engagement on learning in science

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
AbstractEmbodied cognition theories view sensorimotor activity as fundamental to learning, knowing, and reasoning. To investigate the role of physical movement in conceptual learning, we developed and explored an Embodied Learning Interactive Chemistry environment (ELI‐Chem).

Designing bodily engaging games

Proceedings of the 12th Annual Conference of the New Zealand Chapter of the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction, 2011
This paper presents a novel approach for designing bodily engaging games based on fundamental skills and gaming characteristics specific to interactive sports. The concept of kinesthetic empathy interaction is used to articulate the space of interaction where the motivation for action is developed in collaboration between the participants. General open

Bodily rhythms: Corporeal capacities to engage with festival spaces

Emotion, Space and Society, 2011
Abstract This article examines what an embodied sense of rhythm can add to understandings of the relationship between festival spaces and people. Insights are given to how the rhythmic qualities of sound help orientate bodies in festival spaces, and how bodies produce festival space through embodied responses to the rhythmic qualities of sound.

Exploring Bodily Engaging Artifacts Among Golfers, Skaters and Dancers

CHI '10 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2011
To reveal qualities for design of interaction that allow for full body experiences three full body movement activities with artifacts (golf, skateboard and an interactive movement companion) were studied. The study revealed interaction qualities for engagement of a rich array of senses and bodily capabilities for being-in and moving-in the world.

Quantifying Survivability via Measurement of Bodily Exposure During Simulated Combat Engagements

2021
Protective equipment is designed to help shield against enemy fire, however, such cumbersome gear increases user-burden resulting in performance degradations during combat operations. This paper outlines the development and application of an automated approach to quantify bodily exposure to enemy threat in order to assess the impact of human factors ...

Enhancing Bodily Engagements with Manipulatives for Tangible Programming

2020
Tangible User Interfaces are attributed to have a more ‘human-like’ interaction styles that resembles the experience of interacting with real world objects. Digital manipulatives are the TUIs in Tangible programming Environments. The tangibility of the manipulatives is what gives their characteristic appeal of making programming more interactive by ...

Immigrant Children’s Bodily Engagement in Accessing Their Lived Experiences of Immigration

2012
The phenomenological understanding of the body, which Merleau-Ponty (1963) calls the “living envelope of our actions” (p. 188), is central to the human lifeworld, and thus central to phenomenological method. For him, the body and behavior are bearers of meaning that are known immediately as well as reflectively by the body.

Skill learning in making and experiencing artworks: technologies that transform detached intellectuals into bodily engaged actors

Adaptive Behavior, 2021
Rietveld discusses three skills that artistic practices have to offer to makers of technologies for embedding such technologies in society. An ecological dynamics model of skill learning empowers the embedding of Rietveld’s described skills in three social domains: technology makers, artworkers, and visitors of such artworks.

Designing for bodily interplay

Proceedings of the 17th ACM Conference on Interaction Design and Children, 2018
Among younger people, game-based group workouts have become very popular. Thus, as design resources, the social settings become as important as the technology. However, there is still limited knowledge about how to exploit the full design potential of bodily interplay in social exertion games and how technology can be used as a social exertion "shaper"

Understanding the Haptic Experience through Bodily Engagement with Sculptural Ceramics

2010
This paper presents an on-going research project undertaken by an artist-researcher who uses both investigation into haptic theory and the creation of ceramic objects to increase our understanding of the experience of touch. It asks the question, "How and in what way can an artist contribute to understanding haptics?" The artistic journey began with an
