The intimate cover of the human body, i.e. garment is the interface, where many personal traits are embodied. With the improvements in textile and electronics industry, this embodiment can be carried on a higher level, where the garments become dynamic interfaces and extensions of the human body. This book consists of a research on skin, clothes and technology as extensions of human body, emotions, technology-mediated emotions and a design practice that explores the communicative level of wearable technology through turning it into a living surface, which can convert intangible data to tangible in order to provide an emotional communication. This book aims to show how Human-Technology interaction is carried into an alternative context, where technology dissolves in use and starts serving for enhancing HHI.SpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology.Social mediaResearch methodologySocial media.Research methodology.004.16Ugur Secil1370150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910733727903321Wearing Embodied Emotions3397691UNINA
