Abstract

We present an approach for teaching and designing embodied interaction in collaboration with a contemporary dance choreographer. Our approach is based on the felt qualities of movement, and provides a shared experience, vocabulary for self-expression, and appreciation for movement as a design material for interaction design practitioners. We present a workshop, where after movement sessions, interactive sketches were generated and implemented by motion tracking. Subsequently, we have investigated whether or not these activities guided the participants from the prevailing notion of command/control in embodied interaction towards experiences related to the felt qualities of movement. While in idea generation, our approach has provided a better foundation for participants, compared to the approaches that focus only on technologies, this effect wore off and final implementations focused on command & control. We currently experiment with new tools and techniques, integrating material interactions into the process.
