The study of proxemics - the human use of space - is reimagined for the digital age in this book, a compelling examination of the future of the ways we move. Whereas much writing on the subject focuses on what digital technology might do for us, this book explores what the same technology might do to us.
Combining dynamic stories, cutting-edge research, and deep reflection on the role of space in our lives, Digital Proxemics examines the ways that our uses of physical and digital spaces and our uses of technology are converging. It investigates the role of digital communication in proxemics, offering explorations of the ways digital technology shapes our personal bodily movement, our interpersonal negotiation of social space, and our navigation of public spaces and places. Through the lens of information and user-experience design, it adds forbidden spaces, ubicomp, augmented reality, digital surveillance, and virtual reality to the growing lexicon surrounding proxemics. The result is a spatial turn in the study of digital technology and a digital turn in the study of proxemics.
As our culture changes, our ability to make choices about how to move will be called into question, as will our expectations for what roles technology will play in our lives. As we navigate this intersection, Digital Proxemics is at once a valuable lens through which we can view our shifting culture, a cautionary tale through which we might envision problematic outcomes, and an optimistic projection of possibility for the future of human communication and technology interaction.

The author investigates the relationship between digital communication and the human use of space, exploring how digital technology shapes personal bodily movement, the interpersonal negotiation of social space, and the navigation of public space and places. He considers daily interactions with spaces and technologies; the components of the study of proxemics, including human distances, territories, and lived experiences in spaces, and the cultural shifts that require consideration of proxemics for a digital society; application of these concepts to the interpersonal distancing of the body in relation to others in the context of digital gathering; how digital technologies change the physical motion of the body; the impact of digital proxemics in communities, cities, and geographic locations; how people, digital technologies, and environments create archives of place that document movements; spaces that were once forbidden but are now accessible through digital technology; spaces created in virtual environments; the role of digital literacies in understanding and contributing to lived experience with and through digital technology; and research in proxemics.
