In Space, the absence of gravity alters many physical and cognitive parameters for which we have no direct experience. Earth-based “pre-sets” are disrupted, giving rise to new forms of kinaesthesia and gesture.

The Use & Gesture Design (UGD) methodology requires a strong capacity for “pre-visioning” the space experience. How will a new object designed for Space behave? How will it be used by astronauts? And what kinds of relationships might it establish with them and with the surrounding environment? What type of performance will it be able to offer?
