ABSTRACT
This paper presents a work in progress design case that is used to exemplify how a phenomenology-inspired perspective on time can impact the design of highly interactive systems and products. The design presents a calendar with a re-orientated layout that is based on a bodily relationship with time, rather than on the more established linear chronological layout found in most products and systems. The presented design offers a promising perspective as well as emergent technical issues and questions. With this work we hope to inspire interaction designers to consider embodied mechanisms.

Interaction design for and with the lived body: Some implications of merleau-ponty's phenomenology
Special issue on the theory and practice of embodied interaction in HCI and interaction designIn 2001, Paul Dourish proposed the term embodied interaction to describe a new paradigm for interaction design that focuses on the physical, bodily, and social aspects of our interaction with digital technology. Dourish used Merleau-Ponty's ...
Understanding interaction design practices
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThere is an undesirable gap between HCI research aimed at influencing interaction design practice and the practitioners in question. To close this gap, we advocate a theoretical and methodological focus on the day-to-day, lived experience of designers. ...
Evolution of information practices over time
ASIST '16: Proceedings of the 79th ASIS&T Annual Meeting: Creating Knowledge, Enhancing Lives through Information & TechnologyAlthough researchers have grappled with conceptualizations of time in relation to information behavior, the effect of time on information practices has been a challenge to study and theorize. Longitudinal naturalistic methods provide an opportunity to ...
