http://www.slideshare.net/CrazyLion/howbodymatter-presentation

Our physical bodies play a central role in shaping human experience in the world, understanding of the world, and interactions in the world.

We intro-duce aspects of human embodied engagement in the world with the goal of inspiring new interaction design ap-proaches and evaluations that better integrate the physical and computational worlds
