Abstract

New technologies inspire new interface paradigms, while new interfaces utilising the emerging technologies encourage their continued refinement by revealing aspects most useful in their application. The characteristics that make us human will continue to be manifest in our relationship with technology. In our article, we suggest to rethink on the important role of computer in the world to understand embodied nature of communication by dealing with embedded computers, and through multimodal systems to sharing phenomenological experiences. To deal with these issues, in the article it is argued that Human-Computer Interaction needs to develop a phenomenology of body and technology.
