Body perception has a significant impact on people's motor, emotional, and social functioning. We evaluated the potential of four different existing wearable prototypes, which provide sound or haptic bodily feedback to alter body perception. In Research through Design workshop, we invited professional dancers as expert study participants explore assess our prototypes. Based workshop's insights, articulate experiential quality Transformation, characterizes how perceive experience their bodies...
Many technologies for promoting physical activity (PA) give limited importance to critical variables engagement in PA, such as negative body perceptions. Here, we aim address this gap by incorporating barriers and experienced sensations into the design process wearables body-based devices thus expanding space technologies. We first report four co-design workshops with physically inactive participants (n=9); these workshops, explored tangible tools (i) sensitize people when facing PA (ii)...
Changes in body perception influence behavior and emotion can be induced through multisensory feedback. Auditory feedback to one's actions trigger such alterations; however, it is unclear which individual factors modulate these effects. We employ evaluate SoniWeight Shoes, a wearable device based on literature for altering weight manipulated footstep sounds. In healthy population sample across spectrum of individuals (n=84) with varying degrees eating disorder symptomatology, physical...
Body perception transformation technologies augment or alter our own body outside of usual bodily experience. As emerging technologies, research on these is limited to proofs-of-concept and lab studies. Consequently, their potential impact the way we perceive experience bodies in everyday contexts not yet well understood. Through a speculative design inquiry, multidisciplinary team envisioned utopian dystopian technology visions. We surfaced roles, goals values that current future could...
Wearables integrating movement sonification can support body-perception changes and related physical activity; yet, we lack design principles for such sonifications. Through two mixed-methods studies, investigate sound pitch direction interaction effects on self-perception during squat exercises. We measured body perception, affective quality of the experience, actual perceived movement, compared them with control conditions: no-sound vibrotactile feedback. Results show that regardless...
