Abstract

The interface of technology tends to limit human movement as the body adapts particular movement patterns to interact with a machine. The multi-touch gesture interface employed by a smartphone also demands a user's certain movement patterns in order to deliver his or her tactile command to the machine more effectively and efficiently. This study aims to observe and analyze the movement of smartphone users and to identify its characteristics associated with the use of such a device. To demonstrate this, 30 second-long movement samples were collected from three different smartphone users and fully investigated at a micro and macro level based on Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals (LMA/BF). The findings of this study suggest that smartphone users tend to stay in the same Shape Form with the same size of Kinesphere for a period of time and use distal parts of the body with relatively small movements. The actions frequently performed are touching and sliding, which mostly show one-dimensional directionality; and stillness. In sum, the Inner/Outer movement theme is predominant in the context of using a smartphone as users exist in the inner world or make a bridge to the environment by attending to the device or to themselves according to different inner needs to manipulate the device or to take information from it.
