Implications

Linking it all together in some implications The scholarly attention to walking – not merely as a way of moving the body but as an expressive, disciplined, attentive, and felt experience (?) opens up new possibilities for the design of mobile and hybrid interactions (by hybrid I here mean e.g. that mobiles facilitate a new way of seeing/performing the environment bco. The kind of informational overlay that it enables – so, new ways of being social while walking etc. etc? New kinds of available information, new ways of engaging with places, (dating back, perhaps, to the Tejp project and other ambient tagging things (e.g. Yellow Arrow, Blast Theory stuff). Giaccadi’s stuff here on heritage technologies? Also, the mobilities stuff, i.e. going walking-with as a way to facilitate another kind of learning (Pink; sensory apprenticeship, that sort of thing) + Gill; walking as entrainment and rapport-generating. It seems obvious that mobile methods (in case; walking methods) must be employed if we want to know how technologies encroach themselves in such mundane activities.
