> In the ubiquitous computing era, where people can seamlessly access 
> with huge quantity of digital information, most interactions are still 
> performed through graphical user interfaces, which limit the number of 
> human senses and abilities involved. This workshop aims at discussing 
> the rich possibilities that the body offers us to experience the 
> external world and the prospects that arise for the interaction 
> designers when these often-neglected abilities are taken into account. 
> In particular, the workshop will focus on the rediscovery of the five 
> senses, either alone or in a multimodal combination, and of the 
> perceptual-motor abilities of our body. We encourage the participation 
> of young practitioners but also more experienced researchers from 
> different backgrounds (design, engineering, computing, arts, social 
> sciences, neurosciences, ergonomics, etc.), with previous experience 
> in multisensory interaction, full-body interaction or embodied 
> cognition. Following the success of the first BodySenseUX workshops at 
> UbiComp’15 and TEI’16, this will be a one-day or half-day* workshop of 
> discussions and hands-on activities, focused on physically 
> experiencing our body and senses. At the beginning of the workshop, 
> participants will have the possibility to briefly present and discuss 
> with the other attendees their research. During the next phases of the 
> workshop, participants will have the possibilities to explore and 
> rediscover their sensorimotor abilities through several exercises and 
> games. Interdisciplinary groups will be challenged to design and 
> develop new interaction experience concepts using our natural ‘tools’ 
> as prototyping tools. Ready-to-use prototyping materials will be provided.
