About
Silvia Ferrando’s research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, somaesthetics, and multisensory design, where she explores how bodily awareness and sensory perception can shape more intuitive, embodied interactive systems. Her most-cited work, “A Somaesthetics Based Approach to the Design of Multisensory Interactive Systems” (2024), introduces a novel framework that integrates Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetic philosophy into the design of technologies engaging touch, sound, and movement. This contribution offers a theoretical and practical bridge between phenomenological experience and digital interaction, proposing methods for creating systems that foster deeper self-awareness and sensory engagement. Although early in its citation trajectory, the paper has already garnered attention for its interdisciplinary rigor and potential to influence fields from wearable computing to virtual reality. Ferrando’s work is notable for its commitment to centering the lived, felt body in technology design—a shift that challenges conventional user-centered paradigms. Her achievements include advancing somaesthetics as a practical design tool, opening new pathways for researchers and students interested in crafting more humane, sensory-rich digital experiences.
