Multiple examples are included using case studies to illustrate somatic approaches to the design of technology, contextualising the history of somatic methods within HCI and highlighting the relationships between user experiences and the application of somatic principles.

The differences in epistemological assumptions are identified through contextual practice, discussion and case studies with a strong emphasis on multi-modal examples.
