Sensitizing Concepts for Socio-spatial Literacy in HCI
summary
Argues for three concrete, testable sensitizing concepts — Proxemic Malleability, Proxemic Threshold, Proxemic Gravity — and applies them to four design cases: fixed video-conference rooms, Kinect tracking, a democratic presenter-control system, and mobile-to-shared-display content sharing. Shows how display size, camera framing, tracking algorithms and interaction paths change distance norms: democratizing controls lowers thresholds and gravity and increases malleability so co-located people move from rigid social spacing toward more personal interactions. Offers concepts as analytic lenses and generative design tools.
