Abstract
This paper is an explorative interaction design study focusing on the development of a wearable device for enhanced learning of bodily skills. It uses a variation of technology scouting and matchmaking to explore possible technologies related to assistive technology for learning. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people in the concerned fields and analysis of the interviews resulted in insights that could inform the development of the design. Research findings suggest that a wearable learning system that leverages AI to guide and assist learning of bodily skills through a haptic interface could be possible with current technology. The paper proposes a schematic diagram of the system, UX goals and evaluates user attitudes towards such a system. Overall, this design study could serve as a resource for future development of AI-assisted education for activities involving bodily movement.
