Abstract:
Imagination plays a key role in human development as a natural process between the individual and their surroundings, including environmental possibilities. Today, these surroundings often include ubiquitous and pervasive technologies that enable new interaction possibilities. Although imagination is an important aspect in the theory of enactivism, it remains unclear whether it has been investigated within the context of interactive installations, ubiquitous computing, or other kind of application that emphasizes embodiment. This article presents a systematic literature review investigating if and how imagination has been explored in ubiquitous scenarios of interactive installations. We found that ubiquitous technologies can play an important role in enabling imagination in interactive installations. There is, however, a need for more specific design and evaluation methods and theory adoption to support imagination in the design of interactive systems. On this need, we contribute wit
h a research agenda for further study on this subject.
