“…Hankerson et al have already illustrated this for a range of technologies, including wearables, which do not entertain the possibility of wearers having dark skin [39]. However, even recent work illustrates how our design practices are fundamentally based on black markers on white skin leading to core design theme including the final prototype [85]. As we do not consciously reflect on or even name the whiteness of our field, we perpetuate it as a norm.…”

“…However, this is also limited to classically flat-chested cis-male bodies, given that a case study in wearable soft robotics supports creates a prototype entirely oriented on flat chested mannequins and illustrations; which results in photographs of large-chested participants uncomfortably squeezing into their bodies [32] (see also, the sketch in Figure 4). In a particular instance, the authors work with one participant in developing a situated approach to posture correction, albeit never address the issue of that participant also being white, informing fundamentals of the design such as taking black-coloured markers on white skin as a starting point guiding the entire process [85] (see also, Figure 5).…”

“…Designerly contributions make specific assumptions about bodies along two conceptualisations. For one, they designate deviant bodies as potential sites for intervention and reflection, bodies that need to be "put in shape" and 'corrected' (e.g., [8,85,124]). These are in stark contrast to bodies being admired for movements appreciated as feats (e.g., [103]) or artistic expression (e.g., [86]).…”

“…Functionality comprises the main interest here, with work on interactive jewellery [127] disrupting this norm from within. Recent work has also delineated how functionality and aesthetics can be attended to on an equal level throughout the entirety of design processes [85]. Considering all this, designers currently appear to not be trained to reflect on issues such as taking a white body as instance for human bodies (even without ever naming said reference body as white [85]) or using restraint or limitations as experience [92], effectively implying that these are not already present.…”

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.

Sonic Interactions in Virtual Environments

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As the next generation of active video games (AVG) and virtual reality (VR) systems enter people’s lives, designers may wrongly aim for an experience decoupled from bodies. However, both AVG and VR clearly afford opportunities to bring experiences, technologies, and users’ physical and experiential bodies together, and to study and teach these open-ended relationships of enaction and meaning-making in the framework of embodied interaction. Without such a framework, an aesthetic pleasure, lasting satisfaction, and enjoyment would be impossible to achieve in designing sonic interactions in virtual environments (SIVE). In this chapter, we introduce this framework and focus on design exemplars that come from a soma design ideation workshop and balance rehabilitation. Within the field of physiotherapy, developing new conceptual interventions, with a more patient-centered approach, is still scarce but has huge potential for overcoming some of the challenges facing health care. We indicate how the tactics such as making space, subtle guidance, defamiliarization, and intimate correspondence have informed the exemplars, both in the workshop and also in our ongoing physiotherapy case. Implications for these tactics and design strategies for our design, as well as for general practitioners of SIVE are outlined.
