The Expansion of Human Body Boundary Explored by Wearable Devices such as Smart Bracelets from the Perspective of Phenomenology

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development and innovation of technology, intelligent media has gradually entered our daily life, silently changing our way of life. As one of the authorized forms of intelligent technology in the media, intelligent media not only changes our way of life, but also has an impact on the exploration of the sense of boundary in people's self-cognition. In particular, the embedding of wearable devices has triggered more thinking about anthropic questions like, where is the boundary between human and machine, and what is the real existence of human under virtual reality technology. However, the current academic research on wearable devices focuses on technical materials and practical applications, the research of the concept of it with the human body itself is very scarce, relevant empirical research is not enough. In recent years, research in the field of physical transmission has increased gradually, discussion on the body of these theses rise slowly, need to give more attention to the development. In combination with Merleau Ponty's body phenomenology, this paper considers the impact of wearable devices such as smart bracelet on perceptive body, human self-cognition and the boundary relationship between human body and machine from the perspective of phenomenology, and discusses the exploration and extension of wearable devices on human body's sense of boundary from the scale of human value.
