**Part 1: The Characteristics of Bodystorming** Bodystorming is a technique sometimes used in interaction design or as a creativity technique. It is used for design purposes to formulate new product ideas in an interactive environment. Bodystorming refers to the idea of design teams to act out issues and techniques. The purpose of bodystorming transforms ideas and concepts into physical experiences that allow individuals to investigate different qualities n a physical setting. Furthermore bodystorming help demonstrate ideas and situations with groups of people which helps create a collaborative framework towards testing new ideas and technologies.
 * __Week 5__**
 * As part of 'Experience Prototyping', bodystorming has been developed as a method of enquiry for interactive design. **  **Research the definition of 'bodystorming', and write a paragraph describing its characteristics. **
 * After viewing the video 'Part 1: Bodystorming Experiencing a Disability' at [] ** ** describe the information revealed to the researchers in the three different case studies for one paragraph each. **


 * Part 2: Bodystorming Experiencing of Disability**

The cases presented in the video Body Experiencing of Disability it captured three forms of disabilities: Blindness, ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and chronic arthritis. In the first case the participant felt disoriented and when performing tasks she reports high use of other senses and relied on them to make her decision. Therefore it is important to create products with multi-sensory approaches that contain sound and touch.

The second participant had ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in which he found difficulty in performing tasks and frustration which caused him to have negative self-esteem. As a result the use of clear narration is important to present enjoyable and challenging activities to improve actions.

The last case mentioned Chronic Arthritis. The participant experienced constant fear of injury and an increasing feeling of apprehension. His body temperature rose adding to his anxiety, As a result there must be passing space, accessible routes, and tangible objects that are composed of safe materials. Moreover there should be further research for speech recognition system that would strengthen interaction for people with arthritis.
