We are currently exploring the interaction design opportunities of lower-limb exoskeletons as wearables during everyday activities.
We are interested in understanding how these wearables can influence human perception and behaviour during exertion, but also in our everyday life, such as desk work, cooking or walking our dog.
We question whether we perceive such systems as collaborative movement companions or as technologies that reduce our sense of movement control.
We're also interested in how these systems could make our everyday physical activity more playful.
