Design and Physicality – Towards an Understanding of Physicality in Design and Use
Abstract
We live in an increasingly digital world, yet our bodies and minds are naturally designed to interact with the physical. This chapter reports on the work undertaken during the Design for Physicality (DEPtH) project which sought to explore the ways in which physicality affects designers and end users of computer embedded products.
