Embodied Interaction
This research focuses on the design of tactile interfaces, using sensor technology.
Researcher Michel Witter takes part in the online discussion panel Inclusive Extensions: from Science to Practice from 19.30 – 20.30 on 19 November 2020.
Together with designer Simon Dogger and design researcher Gesche Joost, Witter talks about the potential role and future of technology in an inclusive society. An inclusive society allows disabled people to participate on an equal footing. Witter developed the interactive belt that vibrates round the waist and can be used by hearing-impaired people to perceive virtual objects for his research project Embodied Interaction at Caradt.
The panel discussion is part of the Inclusive Extensions series of the IMPAKT festival. You can follow the Facebook event page for the latest updates or check the website

The event takes place via Zoom.

‘Investigating the potential of sensory augmentation to bridge the sensory gap between deaf and hearing.’
Michel Witter is a researcher within the Situated Art and Design research group and a tutor at the Communication & Multimedia Design programme at Avans University of Applied Sciences in Breda.
Living in cities developed around data and acting within the inscrutable structure of our techno-society demands art and design that can help understand how we relate to these rapidly changing surroundings and to reflect on that relationship. The research group Situated Art and Design responds to this exigency by fostering a situated turn in art and design through a diverse portfolio of interdisciplinary research projects in partnership with academic and cultural partners, as well as with government and industry.
