Sleep Planning with Awari: Uncovering the Materiality of Body Rhythms using Research through Design
Kasper Karlgren, Donald McMillan
Abstract
With the increasing adoption of body tracking technology, users are able to collect bio-data which designers struggle to make legible or actionable. This work focused on increasing this technology-mediated bodily understanding through exploring the material properties of the body rhythms that govern the sleep behaviours being tracked.
