Session Name:

Future Realities Summit: Somatic Design: Putting the Body First in XR

Overview:

For many, the dream of fully incorporating the player's whole physical self into XR has been deferred, awaiting the introduction of technological advancements like wearable sensors into the mass markets. nnAs designers, however, we do not have to wait for technological advances to shape our medium and access its full potential. By means of revisiting and adjusting our design approaches we can unlock our mediums true potential of bringing together mind and body like no medium has ever before. nnBy putting the body first in XR this session will introduce attendees to strategies for meaningful physical design. nnWith insights borrowed from neurobiology, attendees will gain a profound understanding of how sensations and emotions are physically orchestrated by our limbic system. We will also journey into the realms of body-centric performing arts, exploring how these creative fields traditionally champion the body as the ultimate design canvas.
