Embodied Atmospheres

This paper introduces a Ph.D. research project about wearable computer artifacts that intertwine digital information from both the human body and the environment. These artifacts use content-related sensors to make air constituents perceptible. In addition, the artifacts' system design is based on metaphorical representations to provide a conceptual system of thought and action for the user. Through the intuitive use of these wearable computer artifacts, participants are able to explore information about themselves and their surroundings with their enhanced body. To provide insights into these human-computer interactions, this Ph.D. research project conducts a user experience study as a 'real-life' ethnographic enactment.
