Abstract

To counter the critical development towards increasingly sedentary lifestyles, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified the workplace as important area for the introduction of health-promoting measures. Addressing this design opportunity, our research focuses on the design of digital workplaces to re-integrate diverse bodily actions into today’s predominantly sedentary office workflow. By combining office furniture with software- and hardware-related elements, we facilitate a new concept of “working in motion” that is characterized by constant alternation between different work tasks, postures, and movement patterns. Based on our investigations, we provide associated HCI design opportunities and challenges.
