“…All of them are roughly concerned with material resources, albeit in different notions. One invites the field to understand thermal stimuli as a designerly component [58], two provide tool-kits supporting different aspects of designing for embodied computing [57,115], one develops building blocks for flexible technological structures with the potential to be included in fabrics [29] and one discusses the potentials of human bodies (specifically hair) as material [27]. Table 3: Papers in the corpus along contribution types.…”

“…As the papers are somewhat removed from physical bodies due to their pre-designerly focus, their assumptions are more based on the types of technologies they may afford. For example, [58] envisions reflective technologies oriented on body awareness whereas [115] assumes that supporting designers' embodied sense-making is largely done through touching with hands even though most of the material in the toolkit could feasibly be used in different ways. Another paper, however, illustrates how material-technological exploration sometimes assumes bodies to be a separate issue to attend to, given how "[o]ne of the main limitations of ShapeTex is the large current for heating which can cause three problems: safety, energy efficiency and heat" [29, p.173].…”

In the few decades since the first mainframe computers, computing technologies have grown smaller, and more pervasive, moving onto and even inside human bodies. Even as those bodies have received increased attention by scholars, designers, and technologists, the bodily expectations and understandings articulated by these technological artefacts have not been a focus of inquiry in the field. I conducted a feminist content analysis on select papers in the proceeding of the ACM International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (TEI) since its inception in 2007. My analysis illustrates how artefacts are implicitly oriented on unmarked bodily norms, while technologies designed for nonnormative bodies treat those as deviant and in need of correction. Subsequently, I derive a range of provocations focused on material bodies in embodied interaction which offer a point of reflection and identify potentials for future work in the field. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → HCI theory, concepts and models; Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; • Social and professional topics → User characteristics.

“…These embodied prototypes then help us to move from an abstract concept to a concrete idea, and to iteratively improve upon it [122]. They are especially useful when co-designing with individuals from different fields since they leverage our physical skills [72,156,268]. We can then use these physical traces that we have built to express ideas to our teammates and keep a record of our insights [72,156,268].…”

E-textile Learning Scaffolds: Supports for Novices Learning E-textile Concepts and Techniques

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) combine the conductive properties of metallic threads with increasingly small computers and microcontrollers to create textiles that are interactive. E-textiles enable new opportunities such as devices that are strong yet flexible, and the ability to use more accessible crafting tools and materials. They also allow technology to blend into the textiles we have in our lives, such as those on our bodies and in our homes. In education, e-textiles are incorporated into curriculums for how they can increase participation in physical computing, while also enabling new creative and expressive applications. Yet blending the fields of physical computing and textiles is not simple, since each has its own culture of terminology, design and prototyping practices, tools, techniques, and methods of documentation.The goal of this thesis is to support beginners in learning the hybrid craft of e-textiles with e-textile learning scaffolds. Rather than building e-textiles from scratch, e-textile learning scaffolds are activities for supporting novices as they learn e-textile concepts and practice the tacit aspects of the craft. One central research question runs throughout the projects in this thesis: "How can we scaffold e-textile ideation and experiential learning with tangible objects and activities?" This thesis contributes five studies, each providing a tangible scaffold or activity, or scaffolding recommendations, for teaching e-textiles in courses or workshops. The design of these i learning scaffolds focused on how they could be accessible to educators by prioritizing reproducibility, re-use, and low-cost.• To my supervisor: Thank you for being there for all the twists and turns this PhD has taken and for your guidance along the way.• To my committee members, publication co-authors, and peer reviewers: Taking the time to read someone's work and provide feedback is always a gift. Thank you! • To my study participants: Thank you so much for providing your time and expertise to this research. I have learned so much from my time spent with all of you. • Most of the work in this thesis happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. A big thank you to my friends and family who helped me through this incredibly difficult time. • To the PhD student who reads this, since only PhD students spend time reading other thesis documents: I hope you find joy in your thesis journey -wishing you all the best! vii Ubiquitous computing Computers that are 'ubiquitous' in our environment, i.e. distributed and within all objects [301]. Zone of proximal development (ZPD) The area or "zone" where learning can occur. If a task is too hard, an individual will become frustrated, and equally if a task is too easy an individual will not learn anything [96].
