            Embodiment and Human Computer Interaction

Human Computer Interaction is the study of the design, implementation 
and use of technological systems with a focus on understanding the needs 
and practices of the users of those systems.  For the purposes of such 
research we draw from a diverse set of fields including Computer Science, 
Mechanical Engineering, Cognitive Psychology, Sociology, Architecture, 
Design and even Philosophy.
 
The first half of the talk will be an overview of Human Computer Interaction.  
I will discuss the rather short history of the field, and provide examples of work 
being done in different areas of Human Computer Interaction.  For the second 
half of the talk, I will discuss my particular area of interest, Embodied Interaction.  
Paul Dourish defines "Embodied Interaction" as  "interaction with computer systems 
that occupy our world, a world of physical and social reality, and that exploit this 
fact in how they interact with us."
