Investigating embodied interaction in embedded computational environments

随着计算作为环境中嵌入的一部分发挥着越来越大的作用，寻求理解人类与计算交互的具体化本质的研究变得越来越重要。体现交互是一种理解人机交互的方法，它试图研究和支持交互中头脑、身体和环境之间的复杂相互作用。这种方法适用于广泛的系统类别，这些系统依赖于与物理环境中嵌入的计算的直接物理交互，包括混合现实、有形计算、响应环境、普及计算和物理计算。以身体为基础的儿童计算机交互形式，包括身体运动，即触摸、感觉、操纵和建立对世界关系的感官意识的能力，对儿童的认知发展至关重要。这个五年计划的研究重点是调查儿童用户如何通过行动和与嵌入式计算环境的互动来创造意义。

As computation plays an ever larger role as an embedded part of the environment, research that seeks to understand the embodied nature of human's interactions with computation becomes increasingly important. Embodied interaction is an approach to understanding human computer interaction that seeks to investigate and support the complex interplay of mind, body and environment in interaction. This approach is relevant for a broad class of systems that rely on direct physical interaction with computation embedded in the physical environment including mixed reality, tangible computing, responsive environments, pervasive computing and physical computing. Physically-based forms of child computer interaction including body movements, the ability to touch, feel, manipulate and build sensory awareness of the relationships in the world is crucial to children's cognitive development. The focus of this five year program of research is the investigation of how child users create meaning through action and interaction with embedded computational environments.
