Abstract

Taking inspiration from the value that place and space have for people (e.g. for the construction of their individual identities) and from previous works concerning memories in the urban space experienced while cycling, we propose how to design an experiment where ambiguous and cognitively dissonant messages are delivered through a wearable device to encourage individuals to rethink their relations with space.

Keywords: hci wearable computing bodily experience urban space memories
