Towards an advanced framework for whole body interaction

Abstract

Whole Body Interaction has emerged in recent years as a discipline that integrates the physical, physiological, cognitive and emotional aspects of a person's complete interaction with a digital environment. In this paper we present a framework to handle the integration of the complex of input signals and the feedback required to support such interaction. The framework is based on the principles of Autonomic Computing and aims to provide adaption and robustness in the management of whole body interaction. Finally we present some example case studies of how such a framework could be used. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
