Description

In this paper, we describe how by embracing a first-person design
perspective we engaged with the uncomfortable to successfully
gain insight into the design of affective technologies. Firstly, we
experience estrangement that highlights and grounds our bodies
as desired in the targeted technology interaction. Secondly, we understand
design preconceptions, risks and limitations of the design
artifacts.
