Abstract

This course explores somatic approaches to experience design in HCI. Designing for Sensory Appreciation focuses on cultivating our bodily sensory experience as a resource for design. This course exemplifies how somatic approaches can be applied through sensory appreciation in the form of case studies that incorporate experience-based activities. We invite a rethinking of the process of designing for technology based on the emerging somatic turn within Human Computer Interaction that acknowledges design for the experience of the self and recognizes the interiority of human experience as an equal partner in technological design processes.
