Abstract

This workshop investigates how to apply embodied situated cognition to the design for interaction. Participants combine embodied experiences, prototyping and theory. We aim for deep-level linkage of theory and practice by uncovering some of the more complex challenges that embodiment presents in the context of concrete design cases.
