| Popis: | This paper presents the concept of Embodied Habituationas an architectural approach to designing contextualizedtechnologies. It does so by identifying Middle GroundExperiences acknowledging how spaces are inhabited withambiguous qualities that affect people emotionally. Theresearch is based on the development and evaluation ofKidkit, which is interactive furniture designed for youngchildren who are going to visit a hospitalized relative withfatal injuries for the first time. Kidkit empowers the childto engage and be present by shaping Middle GroundExperiences in the hospital ward environment that is full ofintimidating medical equipment and alarms. The evaluationresults indicate collective rewards gained when childrensucceed in Embodied Habituation. Finally, the paperdiscusses how Middle Ground Experiences inevitablyestablish grounds for how we design for spatial experienceswithin the interaction design community This paper presents the concept of Embodied Habituation as an architectural approach to designing contextualized technologies.
