Co-designing technologies to communicate embodied experiences: Vibrotactile technologies research workshop with VibraFusionLab

with Dr. Naila Kuhlmann, David Bobier, and Anna Vigeland

A participatory research and creation workshop led by Dr. Naila Kuhlmann (McGill Biapt Lab, CRITAC), with the collaboration of David Bobier (VibraFusionLab), assisted by Anna Vigeland (COHDS member), exploring how immersive and interactive technologies can help convey sensory, bodily and felt experiences that are difficult to see or to put into words. The project co-investigates these questions with:

1. People living with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers
2. Professional circus artists
3. People working with immersive technologies

This workshop is a research activity, involving a focus group discussion, and participation is compensated as such ($20/h).
