Interfaces beyond the surface: a structural approach to embodiment

Published: 10 April 2010 Publication History

Abstract

This work aims to contribute to the theory and practice of embodied interaction. It criticizes that its underlying term of Embodiment has not been defined sufficiently, and is, consequently, used inconsistently. It also argues that this circumstance is a problematic one.
It presents an attempt to provide more clarity to the theory of embodiment, as a basis for the practice of designing embodied interaction in Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs). It proposes a purely structural approach, derived from Heidegger's works around 'Being and Time' [3].
Aspects and criteria of Embodiment (as which Heideggerian Dinglichkeit is interpreted) in the literature are reviewed in this work, and applied to the design practice of Embodied Interaction.
