Abstract:The way in which humans interact with technology is moving beyond traditional screen-based gestures of tapping and swiping. Consider the interactions with technologies like AR, VR, interactive light projection, or voice-based interactions with a smart speaker. The fields of sports technology, robotics, human-computer interaction (HCI), interaction design (ID) along with many others are readily incorporating design methods that help in crafting interactions for a wholistic bodily engagement of a user. In this thesis, we refer to such design methods as Movement-based Design Methods (MbDMs). In this thesis, we aim to help student teams adopt and work with MbDMs in an educational course setting. We explore the existing difficult areas in the educational setting that uses MbDMs. And build a low-tech tool in the form of a Scaffolding Workbook which caters to the facilitation needs of student teams during practical session of two MbDMs – Embodied Sketching and Experience Prototyping. We highlight the need of creating such tool, its influence on practices of the classroom and the process of creating the workbook, that can be used by future studies to create similar tools focused on improving the adoptability and execution of MbDMs.
