The study of proxemics - the human use of space - is reimagined for
the digital age in this book, a compelling examination of the
future of the ways we move. Whereas much writing on the subject
focuses on what digital technology might do for us, this book
explores what the same technology might do to us. Combining dynamic
stories, cutting-edge research, and deep reflection on the role of
space in our lives, Digital Proxemics examines the ways that our
uses of physical and digital spaces and our uses of technology are
converging. It investigates the role of digital communication in
proxemics, offering explorations of the ways digital technology
shapes our personal bodily movement, our interpersonal negotiation
of social space, and our navigation of public spaces and places.
Through the lens of information and user-experience design, it adds
forbidden spaces, ubicomp, augmented reality, digital surveillance,
and virtual reality to the growing lexicon surrounding proxemics.
The result is a spatial turn in the study of digital technology and
a digital turn in the study of proxemics. As our culture changes,
our ability to make choices about how to move will be called into
question, as will our expectations for what roles technology will
play in our lives. As we navigate this intersection, Digital
Proxemics is at once a valuable lens through which we can view our
shifting culture, a cautionary tale through which we might envision
problematic outcomes, and an optimistic projection of possibility
for the future of human communication and technology interaction.
