Smith, Brian K. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2014
Bodystorming is a technique used by designers to better understand how the settings where interactive systems are deployed might affect their intended uses. The articulation of design concepts "in the wild" and using forms of performance and improvisation are intended to help designers become more aware of contextual issues that may not…
