Inbodied Interaction 101: A First Course in Practical Anatomy & Physiology for HCI Designers, Researchers and Engineers

Published: 08 May 2021 Publication History

Abstract

While increasing numbers of HCI Designers or Researchers design tools for health and wellbeing, few have a background in human anatomy and physiology. Inbodied Interaction 101 provides a fundamental orientation to human anatomy and physiology specifically framed for HCI designers, researchers and engineers that students will be able to use immediately to inform their own designs. The models offer practical orientation for any designer interested in developing tools to support human performance, health and wellbeing, both physically, socially and cognitively. It will help anyone whose work touches the human body – from mixed reality to behaviour mediation, all of which are mediated by the state of the body. Students will learn fundamental physiological parameters within our anatomy to support these states. Students will also test these approaches in class, to see how they can be used for both evaluation and design of innovative, inbodied-aligned designs.
