Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Objective of this Network of Excellence is to connect European researchers for the development, spreading and standardization of innovative interfaces and interaction paradigms that could substitute and integrate interaction with information mediated by symbolic/iconic systems (language/images) with media based on Enactive Knowledge. Enactive knowledge is not simply a multisensory mediated one, but knowledge stored in the form of motor reponses and acquired by the act of 'doing'. It is a form of cognition inherently tied to actions, as in the handcrafter as way of knowing. It is an intuitive non-symbolic form of learning. Europe currently has the multidisciplinary expertise that is needed to the study and development of enactive interfaces but this knowledge is still dispensed in multiple independent laboratories. Nonetheless these innovative interfaces present a wide potential of application in all the fields related to the Human-Computer Interaction and could permit to overcome limitation of current symbolic based information and interaction systems introducing a new interaction paradigm shift.
