IDHuP

looking at IDHuP some interesting stuff going on.

Lian Loke particularly has done a dance related PhD utilising interactive technology. This included the Thinking through the Body project

The thinking through the body project is about eploring what a human centered approach to body focussed interactive art could be.

They used a combination of methodologies drawn from the fields of Human centred design,pragmatic aesthetics and somatic bodywork therapy.

Developing projects
IDHuP researchers are interested in developing further research projects in areas that include:

• The design and use of interactive technologies and interaction styles where movements of the human body are direct input into the system
• The design and use of interaction and communication technologies to support work practices in healthcare and the delivery of health services
• The design and use of mobile and social technologies in developing countries and communities
• The extension of human-centred – especially participatory – design approaches into novel, complex and or emerging areas of technology design and use. This includes the development of new design tools methods and techniques and the extension of existing ones.
