Abstract

Figure 1. Museum visitors interact with our prototype Human-Data Interaction system using gestures and body movements.

Grasping Derivatives: Teaching Mathematics through Embodied Interactions using Tablets and Virtual Reality

“…Chatain et al brought the users' bodies to the core of the digital experience by using their hands as a controller and a display, both for games and playful educational activities [9]. Trajkova et al used embodied interaction for data exploration in a museum context and found that the representation of the bodies impacted the gestures used to interact with digital content [56]. Focusing specifically on learning, Lindgren and al.…”

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Fused Twins: A Review of Access to Digital Twins In Situ in Smart Cities

“…Novel approaches such as somaesthetic appreciation design [94,95] describe the manner in which users' bodies may be integrated in the design process as well as in the experience with digital content and data. Empirical evidence suggests that bodies' representations impact the sense of embodiment [96,97], as well as the types of gestures performed to interact with a system and the time spent observing and interacting with data [98]. In this regard, the challenge of FTs extends beyond meaningfully anchoring virtual data onto a physical context to include the design of the interaction with the augmentation from an embodied, somaesthetic perspective [74,94,95].…”

More Weather Tomorrow. Engaging Families with Data through a Personalised Weather Forecast

“…Before video streaming platforms were omnipresent, television channels, and especially public service media channels, directed the programming of their Saturday evening to families, with the goal of establishing social interaction between them through game shows and comedy. Similarly, museums are also involved in designing narratives for family experiences [41], which might be exploited in data exploration contexts as well [35].…”
