Embodied interaction describes how meaning in interaction is created through engagement.
With this approach as a source of inspiration for three exploratory design cases this paper
explores the possibilities of embodied interaction in storing, retrieving and enriching
everyday memories. Following the principles of designing for embodiment, all three design
cases aim at cueing memories through visual modalities like photo and video. We discuss
these case studies in light of the embodied interaction and memory theory. Our findings …
Embodied interaction describes how meaning in interaction is created through engagement. With this approach as a source of inspiration for three exploratory design cases this paper explores the possibilities of embodied interaction in storing, retrieving and enriching everyday memories. Following the principles of designing for embodiment, all three design cases aim at cueing memories through visual modalities like photo and video. We discuss these case studies in light of the embodied interaction and memory theory. Our findings indicate that everyday remembering may be a suitable application area for combining it with embodied interaction, because of its abstract and personal nature.
