Extending Interaction to the Periphery
Workshop Embodied Interaction: Theory and Practice in HCI. In conjunction with 29th ACM International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2011), Vancouver, BC, Canada, May 07-12, 2011

Communicating information in the periphery of human perception is common practice in the design of ambient systems. However this normally leads to passive, noninteractive displays. We propose the concept of peripheral embodied interaction, which is carried out in the physical world on the periphery of the users' attention. We offer a classification of peripheral embodied interaction consisting of five design dimensions and show two initial prototypes, which incorporate peripheral interaction capabilities.
