About

I’m Peter Dalsgaard, assistant professor in interaction design at Aarhus University. I carry out much of my research at the Center for Digital Urban Living and CAVI, the Center for Advanced Visualization and Interaction.

In my research I explore theories of design and the nature of design processes. I have a particular interest in the design of interactive environments, experience-oriented aspects of interaction, and the ways in which digital technologies transform the experiences and practices of urban life. The pragmatist philosophy of John Dewey is a great inspiration for my work, and in my PhD dissertation as well as in my academic publications I explore how Deweyan notions can yield insights into the design and use of interactive systems and environments.

This webpage is my main online presence, intended primarily for my academic work as a reservoir of links and notes on all things interactive, although the occasional non-academic post or two may pop up.
