Initial Steps Towards Infrastructuring Body-Centric Computing

Abstract

Digital technologies are moving towards the human body. Designing for the body is commonly dubbed as body-centric computing (BCC) and includes two sides: 1) the neuro-science side; 2) the technical side mainly focuses on establishing and enabling the interactions. A conceptual framework enabling the systematic design and development of body-centric applications is introduced. Its novelty and importance are assessed within a set of application scenarios.
