Embodiment of Wearable Augmented Reality Technology in Tourism Experiences
本文理论反思技术中介中的具身关系现象,评估可穿戴增强现实技术在旅游景点的具身化,发现具身化由所有权、位置和能动性构成,影响享受并增强旅游体验。
The increasing use of wearable devices for tourism purposes sets the stage for a critical discussion on technological mediation in tourism experiences. This article provides a theoretical reflection on the phenomenon of embodiment relation in technological mediation and then assesses the embodiment of wearable augmented reality technology in a tourism attraction. The findings suggest that technology embodiment is a multidimensional construct consisting of ownership, location, and agency. These support the concept of technology withdrawal, where technology disappears as it becomes part of human actions, and contest the interplay of subjectivity and intentionality between humans and technology in situated experiences such as tourism. It was also found that technology embodiment affects enjoyment and enhances experience with tourism attractions.
