Embodied Interwction：Exploring the Foundations of a New Approach to HCI

Abstract
As we move towards the close of the millennium, it is perhaps not surprising that we take the “long view” and attempt to find, in the history of HCI, clues to its future. In that vein, this article focuses on the theoretical and foundational underpinnings of interactive system design and development. Drawing upon recent trends in interactive systems research, it proposes “embodiment” as the basis for a new foundational approach to HCI. Embodiment reflects both a physical presence in the world and a social embedding in a web of practices and purposes. After a review of the role that embodiment has played in philosophies of presence and action through the twentieth century, the outline of a new foundation for the design and analysis of interactive systems is presented.
