Abstract:Movement-based design is an upcoming practice in HCI that is interested in designing for sports and movement practices. Artefacts, such as design cards, are oftentimes used to facilitate movement-based design sessions. However, these cards may hinder and draw away from the desired explorative, movement-rich behaviours in the design process. This research explored whether design method cards can be complemented with digital-physical artefacts that invite meaningful movements in the context of movement-based design sessions. Therefore, we developed the MoMo, a digital-physical artefact that is designed to foster movement more directly than design cards. Augmenting design cards with a digital-physical body is a novel research contribution and has not yet been seen in related studies. The results of a pilot study show that participants can extract the designed behaviours from the digital-physical artefact and wield it as intended. However, the data showed that there was limited interaction between the MoMo and the design process. Overall, this thesis presents the design of the MoMo through a Research-through-Design approach, the results of a pilot study, and a discussion on the potential of digital-physical artefacts, as well as a reflection upon the state of the field.
