Being In The World
This document discusses the concept of embodiment as it relates to interactive systems and phenomenology. It argues that tangible and social computing have a common foundation in embodiment, which phenomenology explores as our experiences as embodied actors interacting in and through the world in an absorbed, unreflective manner. Since phenomenology takes embodiment as central, it seems a good place to turn for help in developing an understanding of embodiment's role in interactive systems. The document examines how embodiment can organize embodied interaction in terms of creating, manipulating, and communicating meaning and establishing practices.
