Things, our interactions and our interfaces with technology will look radically different in the years ahead, incorporating changes like full body interaction, shape-changing interfaces, wearables and movement tracking apps. These changes offer an enormous opportunity—indeed, a necessity—to reinvent the way we interact with the inanimate world. Once-familiar, everyday objects, from our phones to our vacuums, require novel interaction models – not just typing text on screens, but, increasingly, movement-based, bodily communication. A qualitative shift is required in our design methods, from a predominantly symbolic, language-oriented design stance, to an experiential, felt, aesthetic stance permeating the whole design and use cycle.
I will discuss soma design —a process that allows designers to ‘examine’ and improve on connections between sensation, feeling, emotion, subjective understanding and values. Some design engages with bodily rhythms, touch, proprioception, bodily playfulness, but also with our values, meaning-making processes, emotions, ethics and ways of engaging with the world. Soma design also provides methods for orchestration of the ‘whole’, emptying the digital and physical materials of all their potential, thereby providing fertile grounds for meaning-making and engagement.

Designing with the Body: Somaesthetic Interaction Design

The purpose of the International Conference on Computer-Human Interaction Research and Applications (CHIRA) is to bring together professionals, academics and students who are interested in the advancement of research and practical applications of interaction design & human-computer interaction. Five parallel tracks will be held, covering different aspects of Computer-Human Interaction, including Interaction Design, Human Factors, Entertainment, Cognition, Perception, User-Friendly Software and Systems, Pervasive Technologies and Interactive Devices.

Behavior at a micro level - for example, if we want to study a swarm, then we can observe it as a whole, otherwise we can analyze how each single component of the storm interacts with the other. The idea of complexity science is actually very simple and relies on the observation and manipulation of micro behavior to understand what simple rules bring to a group dynamic. In the case of fire in a building, how does an individual interact with others, and above all, with the crowd? To answer to this question, we need to make some hypotheses about each individual's behavior, but the real problem is that the behavior, as stated, is relational, dynamic and multidimensional. So, practically, two main questions arise:
1. How do we study human behavior as it relates to specific situations that could also be impossible to replicate (such as the case of fire in a building) or experimentally manipulate?
2. How is it possible to measure the parameters that provide us information about the behavior dynamics of one, two or many individuals?
3. How can we include all the possible parameters of a behavior dynamics in a model to be used to forecast collective behavior at the macro (social) level?
Answering each one of these research questions, we can define a clear scenario for modeling behavior dynamics.

From Behaviour to Interaction through Modeling

Following up Larry Constantine’s keynote at CHIRA 2017 this talk shines a light on User interface design from the eyes of an industry practitioner. Starting from real world examples we explore the etiology of bad design and the magic behind good user experience.
What are the root causes for many interaction problems? What are the common pitfalls and wrong tracks, and can they be avoided?
How to come up with brilliant designs, what are the tools and methods of wizards and where exactly comes the magic in?
In this presentation an award-winning designer and inventor provides insight in his practice of IxD and UxD founded on the structured models of activity-centered design. He reveals the secrets of UI design magic and how to become a 3rd degree wizard.
