Abstract

Computing has been increasingly woven into people’s lives as a form of assistance. However, most assistance systems communicate with users through symbols. For example, GPS systems guide users using visual or textual instructions.

In contrast, embodied assistance—such as systems implemented through electrical muscle stimulation—can support users physically via their own movements. This enables a new form of interaction in which users do not need to translate symbols into actions.

In this talk, Yun will present her research on embodied assistance applied to physical multitasking, motor learning, procedural knowledge, and more.
