Using Embodied Cognition to Create Novel Interaction Design Patterns with Jessica Outlaw

Embodied cognition is the study of how a person's physical body can play a role in the cognitive processing of information.  For example, scientists have found that humans perform better on memory tasks when we offload storage to our bodies and our environments.  Now, as Virtual and Augmented Reality technology becomes increasing common, there are new possibilities for designers to apply years of research on embodied cognition. Come learn how immersive technology allows for real-time feedback based on how the user is moving and where their gaze is directed. And how you can create novel interaction design patterns that improve a user's attention and memory and influence their decision-making and problem-solving.
