Project Details
Description
The primary aim of An Internet of Soft Things is the development of a participatory design methodology for the IoT informed by relational approaches in psychotherapy. Our team of interactive textile developers, computer scientists and psychotherapists are working with Nottinghamshire Mind Network to: inform non-medicalised mental healthcare communities about the issues and opportunities for individuals in a networked society; inform the participatory design community about different philosophical modes of practice in psychotherapy; and evaluate person-centred theory for its potential contribution to a new participatory design methodology for the IoT
Layman's description
The An Internet of Soft Things project challenges how a radically connected world would be designed to benefit human wellbeing, and in particular, what types of experience can be instigated from smart textile interfaces.
