Abstract
This thesis investigates how body posture can serve as an interface for co-creating generative poetry with AI through the design of Pose Poet. It asks how mappings between movement and text can give users a clear sense of influence, ownership, and authorship, and how AI can contribute surprise while preserving user agency. Grounded in human-centered design, embodied interaction theory, and scholarship on creative agency, the work combines a narrative literature review with the design and implementation of a posture-to-text system that treats users as active collaborators whose bodily expression shapes the output. The thesis discusses design considerations such as gesture-to-language mapping, legibility, feedback, transparency, and onboarding to support intuitive, expressive, and ethically aware interaction. Reported insights suggest that embodied interaction can mediate creative agency in human–AI collaboration and point to opportunities for artistic and educational applications that engage people through movement; detailed empirical results are not included in the excerpt.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan kropsholdning kan fungere som grænseflade for samskabelse af generativ poesi med AI gennem designet af Pose Poet. Den spørger, hvordan afbildninger mellem bevægelse og tekst kan give brugere en tydelig oplevelse af indflydelse, ejerskab og forfatterskab, og hvordan AI kan bidrage med overraskelse, mens brugerens handlekraft bevares. Arbejdet er forankret i menneskecentreret design, teorier om kropslig interaktion og forskning i kreativ handlekraft, og kombinerer en narrativ litteraturgennemgang med design og implementering af et system, hvor kropslige udtryk former det genererede output. Afhandlingen behandler designhensyn som gestus-til-sprog-mapping, læsbarhed, feedback, transparens og onboarding for at støtte intuitiv, udtryksfuld og etisk opmærksom interaktion. De rapporterede indsigter tyder på, at kropslig interaktion kan mediere kreativ handlekraft i menneske–AI-samarbejde og peger på muligheder for kunstneriske og uddannelsesmæssige brugsscenarier baseret på bevægelse; detaljerede empiriske resultater fremgår ikke af uddraget.
