David England • Liverpool John Moores University • Whole Body Interaction: Opportunities and Challenges
Liverpool • Liv. Pic
Non-Photorealism • Wet and • Cockshott, England, Waite - movement (and mapping) qualities of paint
Workshops • First Workshop Liverpool: Whole Body Interaction: The Future of the Human Body - 2007 • Interdisciplinary workshop of artists and scientists • Fitted in with FACT’s Future of the Human Body Exhibition • Subsequent workshops at CHI2009, CHI2010 and ACE2011
Why Whole Body Interaction • A reaction against: • {Virtual, Mixed, Augmented} Realities • Mobile, Ubiquitous Interaction • Where the focus became/is increasing the technology and not the person or people interacting
WBI • But more positively... • A reaction to Bill Buxton’s Challenge to create interfaces that made fuller and better use of human capabilities • And a reaction in favour of embodied/located action- following Suchman’s work on Plans and Situated Action
“Naturalism” • Scot mentioned non-photorealism yesterday • Central to discussions of mappings in WBI • Current move to NUI may be misleading • Is the most “natural” mapping also the most • engaging • interesting • effective .... ? • Compare Randal Smith’s continuum of Literal to Magical mappings in the ARK
Mixed Hello • Open source camera vision work by Josh Nimoy - jMyron toolkit - edge detection
C0d3 • Multi-device work by Caen Botto MAXMSP - Magic of the Spell “Magic Mapping”
Evolution • Challenge Evolution of devices and technology • WBI == movement, physiology, emotion, context, location, social connection etc etc. • But emotional inference, for example, currently has 70-80% recognition rates with a small range of emotions
Autonomic models • Our solution: the triangulation of inferences by combining multiple sources • Works on the principle of Autonomic Computing (invented by IBM) for self-managing systems • WBI interfaces and modules can be plugged in and replaced as they evolve
Future • CHI2012 Community of Digital Arts - David England, Jill Fantuzacoffin • Various Activities at the conference • CHI2013 in Paris - the Digital Arts Community will continue • We invite you to submit, participate, debate
