Interactive Sports Technologies : Performance, Participation, Safety

Building on the unfolding and expanding embeddedness of digital technologies in all aspects of life, Interactive Sports Technologies: Performance, Participation, Safety focuses on the intersection of body movement, physical awareness, engineering, design, software, and hardware to capture emerging trends for enhancing sports and athletic activities. The accessible and inspiring compilation of theoretical, critical, and phenomenological approaches utilizes the domain of sports to extend our understanding of the nexus between somatic knowledge and human-computer interaction in general. Within this framework, the chapters in this volume draw upon a variety of concepts, processes, practices, and elucidative examples to bring together a timely assessment of interactive technologies' potential to facilitate increased performance, participation, and safety in sports. The contents of the book are organized under five thematic areas-Embodiment, Content, Materiality, Information Architecture & Design, and Applications - which invite diverse perspectives from a wide range of academic and practice-based researchers within a comprehensive coverage of sport disciplines--
