Órbita Laika: Abracadabra

We were featured in Órbita Laika, the TV program! Abracadabra was Episode 2 of Season 8 and focused on revealing how science creates illusions that defy our perception. We shared an overview of our experiments and prototypes for sensory-driven Body Transformation Experiences.

As defined by themselves, Órbita Laika is a TV program that disseminates fun science for all audiences. Órbita Laika has been exploring the magic of science for eight seasons with a variety of topics and all kinds of curiosities from experts who help viewers understand their environment and open their minds to new experiences and knowledge.

ELEMENT Days: symposium and workshop

The Hearing Body: Sound-driven Body Transformation Experiences Applications for Emotional and Physical Health was the keynote presented by Ana Tajadura-Jiménez in the ELEMENT Days symposium. The symposium was organized for the the end of the project ELEMENT – Enabling Learnability in Movement Interaction on October 13th and 14th, 2022, in IRCAM, Paris, France.

The Hearing Body: Sound-driven Body Transformation Experiences Applications for Emotional and Physical Health

The presentations concerned movement-based interaction, from different perspectives: user-centered and participatory design studies, interactive machine learning tools and applications covering arts (dance and music), education and health.

Ana’s keynote led the theme of Learning or Re-learning Movements and presented an overview of sound-driven body transformation experiences.

2022 European Researchers’ Night

During the 2022 European Researcher’s Night in Madrid, Ana Tajadura-Jiménez participated in Teatro y ciencia: más allá del bienestar (Theater and Science: beyond well-being). This event was a popular science show focused on various aspects related to our well-being, such as water, pollution caused by airplanes, the health of our cells and the impact of technology on the perception of our body. This event alternated theatrical scenes with talks by UC3M research staff on UC3M scientific projects funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

The talk by Ana was titled Tecnologías para experiencias sensoriales de transformación del cuerpo y aplicaciones para la salud (Technologies for sensory-driven body-transformation experiences and health applications).
