Embodied interaction is the creation, manipulation and sharing of meaning through engaged interaction with artifacts. Embodied interaction is when people interact mentally and physically with technology. It is when people use technology along with themselves to interact with either virtual people or real people. It can involve using your whole body, and not just your hands and eyes. Embodied interaction is a position in cogitative science and the philosophy of the mind emphasising the role that the human body plays in shaping the mind. This can be used in science, robotics, music and gaming.
