Why Movement-Based Design!? Exploring Methods and Experiences in MBD

Abstract

The rise of movement-based design (MBD) is fueled by the integration of computer technology into the movement of the everyday. Departing from traditional interface design, MBD prioritizes natural interaction, SportsHCI, and health promotion through physical activity. This paradigm shift has led to innovations in experimental applications and interaction techniques, including exergames, expressivity in interactions and soma-design. Various guidelines and frameworks have been proposed for specific purposes, from sports to virtual reality. This workshop explores participants' experiences and perspectives on MBD, delving into MBD workshop design and reflect on MBD methods and the current move towards MBD methodologies.
