About
Laia Turmo Vidal is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, specializing in sensorimotor augmentation, embodied interaction, and the design of wearable technologies that reshape bodily experience. Her most-cited work, "Sensorimotor Devices: Coupling Sensing and Actuation to Augment Bodily Experience" (2025, 7 citations), introduces a critical framework for understanding a new class of interfaces—wearable systems that tightly integrate sensing and actuation to extend or transform how users perceive and move their bodies. By analyzing examples like MetaLimbs, which maps foot movements to supernumerary robotic limbs, Turmo Vidal illuminates how these devices can create novel, intuitive forms of interaction. Her contributions are foundational to emerging discussions on bodily augmentation, offering both theoretical grounding and design insights for creating more seamless human-machine integrations. With a growing citation impact, her work is shaping how researchers and students think about the future of wearable computing, proprioception, and the very boundaries of the self. Turmo Vidal’s research is essential reading for anyone exploring the intersection of interaction design, sensory experience, and embodied technology.
