Proprioceptive Interaction
Pedro Alcântara Antunes Lopes · 2016
In my research, I investigate how users might interact with devices smaller than mobile or wearable devices. I argue that to achieve the intended minimal form-factor such devices will leverage the user's body as an input and output device. Users will not interact with the device but instead will interact through one of their limbs, which they share with the computer as the interface. I present four research prototypes, all of which actuate the user's limbs by means of electrical muscle stimulation and are perceived through the user's proprioceptive senses.
