Abstract
FeltRadio is a portable technology for sensing WiFi through sensorial augmentation and Electric Muscle Stimulation (EMS). The technology enables its wearer to sensorially engage with the radio waves and WiFi activities that have become an integrated part of our everyday lives. The sensorial engagement changes people’s experience of community-generated WiFi activities and their participation in wireless communication infrastructures. This is both an immediately embodied activity as it is a new form of social awareness. In this paper, we present the FeltRadio technology and show how it facilitates new forms of community-based and sensorial participation in our contemporary experience of wireless traffic.

| Andet | The COOP conferences promote the idea that cooperative systems design requires a deep understanding of collective activities, involving both artefacts and social practices, within a context. COOP embraces a wide set of research questions on the design, development, and evaluation of socially-situated technologies. |
