The Performative Portrait: Iconic Embodiment in Ubiquitous Computing
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper looks at the digital portrait used in the form of avatars in various online worlds and communication networks. It describes an ongoing modal shift from an ontological understanding of the portrait towards the portrait as performative

Wearable computing devices worn on the body provide the potential for digital interaction in the world. A new stage of computing technology at the beginning of the 21st Century links the personal and the pervasive through mobile wearables. The convergence between the miniaturisation of microchips (nanotechnology), intelligent textile or interfacial materials production, advances in biotechnolog...
متن کاملThe Implications of Embodiment for Mathematics and Computing Education
This symposium is a venue for discussing the implications of embodied cognition research for mathematics and computing education. Our goal is to bring five themes together that we think are complementary in understanding what embodiment holds for math and computing education: (1) Empirical studies: Behavioral, neuroscience, and neuropsychological work on sensorimotor groundings of higher-cognit...
متن کاملThe linguistic and embodied nature of conceptual processing.
Recent theories of cognition have argued that embodied experience is important for conceptual processing. Embodiment can be contrasted with linguistic factors such as the typical order in which words appear in language. Here, we report four experiments that investigated the conditions under which embodiment and linguistic factors determine performance. Participants made speeded judgments about ...

متن کاملA Scalable, Portal-Based Interface for Managing Applications in Interactive Workspaces
Iconic interfaces have been used to enable users to visually manage applications in interactive workspaces. However, current implementations do not scale for larger numbers of applications and do not allow users to maintain adequate awareness of collaborator activities. Following an iterative design process and building on our previous work, we developed a new iconic interface called SEAPort. O...
