Embodied Interaction Workshop at IDC 2009

Keeping a look out for the conference on Interaction Design for Children, which I have been wanting to attend for years. My last chance was with a paper on MEDIATE, but got beaten to it by the most prolific disseminator in the project, Narcis Pares.

However, Alissa N. Antles's works sounds intriguing and I shall look here up some more (one of the co-organisors of the Embodied Interaction Workshop. The other two are Ylva Fernaeus and Paul Marshall, who I met at the Human-Centred Technology Workshop and who does interesting work on tangible interfaces and children.). Regarding Antle, particularly the key words "embodied schemata and conceptual metaphors in interaction design for interactive environments and designing to support epistemic action in tangible user interfaces." have caught my attention.
