Embodied Interaction researches social and phenomenological aspects of situated and embodied experience. We explore and develop novel interactive materials and context-aware devices. These enable us to create responsive environments and mobile services that are sustainable and engage with collective and personal stories.
Keywords: responsive materials, interactive environments, tangible interfaces and context-aware services
