Journal Article
Höök, K., Benford, S., Tennent, P., Tsaknaki, V., Alfaras, M., Martinez Avila, J., Li, C., Marshall, J., Daudén Roquet, C., Sanches, P., Ståhl, A., Umair, M., Windlin, C., & Zhou, F. (2021). Unpacking Non-Dualistic Design: The Soma Design Case. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 28(6), Article 40. https://doi.org/10.1145/3462448

We report on a somaesthetic design workshop and the subsequent analytical work aiming to demystify what is entailed in a non-dualistic design stance on embodied interaction and why a first-person engagement is crucial to its unfoldings. However, as w... Read More about Unpacking Non-Dualistic Design: The Soma Design Case.

Soma design to enhance aircraft passenger comfort (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sharafkhani, M., Tennent, P., Argyle, E., & Cobb, S. (2021, September). Soma design to enhance aircraft passenger comfort. Presented at Comfort Congress (ICC2021), Nottingham, UK

Aircraft passengers can become uncomfortable while seated because of the restricted physical space. This work aims to investigate a new strategy for designing interventions that can be used to encourage aircraft passengers to move more while seated a...

Articulating Soma Experiences Using Trajectories (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tennent, P., Höök, K., Benford, S., Tsaknaki, V., Ståhl, A., Dauden Roquet, C., Windlin, C., Sanches, P., Marshall, J., Li, C., Pablo Martinez Avila, J., Alfaras, M., Umair, M., & Zhou, F. (2021, May). Articulating Soma Experiences Using Trajectories. Presented at CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’21), Yokohama, Japan

In this paper, we reflect on the applicability of the concept of trajectories to soma design. Soma design is a first-person design method which considers users’ subjective somatic or bodily experiences of a design. Due to bodily changes over time, so...
