Do Cyborgs dream of Electric Limbs? Experiential Factors in Human-Computer Integration Design and Evaluation

A workshop examining not just whether body-integrated technologies work functionally, but whether people actually feel them as part of their own body. The session used hands-on experiments with body illusions to explore what makes technology feel truly integrated.

Abstract

While many systems have successfully demonstrated functional integration of humans and technology, little attention has been paid to how technologies might experientially integrate to feel as part of humans. Our aim is to shed light on the importance of experiential integration and provide researchers with a scientifically driven foundation for future designs and investigations. The workshop will consist of hands-on experiments with novel body-illusions, discussions on experiential integration, and instructor-guided sessions on psychological concepts related to the design and evaluation of experiential integration.
