When you picture human-data interactions (HDI), what comes to mind?
The datafication of modern life, along with open data initiatives
advocating for transparency and access to current and historical
datasets, has fundamentally transformed when, where, and how people
encounter data. People now rely on data to make decisions,
understand current events, and interpret the world. We frequently
employ graphs, maps, and other spatialized forms to aid data
interpretation, yet the familiarity of these displays causes us to
forget that even basic representations are complex, challenging
inscriptions and are not neutral; they are based on
representational choices that impact how and what they communicate.
This book draws on frameworks from the learning sciences,
visualization, and human-computer interaction to explore embodied
HDI. This exciting sub-field of interaction design is based on the
premise that every day we produce and have access to quintillions
of bytes of data, the exploration and analysis of which are no
longer confined within the walls of research laboratories. This
volume examines how humans interact with these data in informal
(not work or school) environments, paritcularly in museums. The
first half of the book provides an overview of the
multi-disciplinary, theoretical foundations of HDI (in particular,
embodied cognition, conceptual metaphor theory, embodied
interaction, and embodied learning) and reviews socio-technical
theories relevant for designing HDI installations to support
informal learning. The second half of the book describes strategies
for engaging museum visitors with interactive data visualizations,
presents methodologies that can inform the design of hand gestures
and body movements for embodied installations, and discusses how
HDI can facilitate people's sensemaking about data. This
cross-disciplinary book is intended as a resource for students and
early-career researchers in human-computer interaction and the
learning sciences, as well as for more senior researchers and
museum practitioners who want to quickly familiarize themselves
with HDI.
