What if the next interface wasn’t a screen or a headset, but your heartbeat, breath, or posture? In this talk, I’ll explore how physiological signals and embodied interaction can challenge conventional human-computer interaction paradigms, especially in assistive and health-centered contexts. Drawing from my experience designing immersive experiences and games for health, developing biosignal-driven systems in academic and industry settings, and working across continents and disciplines, I’ll share how we can create more “human” technologies—technologies that respond to us not just as users, but as bodies with needs, rhythms, and emotions.
Rather than chasing immersion for its own sake, this talk asks: how can spatial media become more empathetic, inclusive, and responsive? I’ll offer an unexpected lens that fuses physiological computing, HCI, and creative tech, inviting the audience to reconsider the body not as a passive input source, but as a central design material. This is a talk about care, complexity, and the radical possibilities of humanized design in a increasingly hybrid world.
