Liikuvale

Liikuvale is a neologism used in speculative design and human–computer interaction to describe a model in which movement data influences the valuation of interface elements and system states. The term is not part of a standardized vocabulary; its exact meaning varies across authors and contexts.

In practice, liikuvale relies on sensors or input streams to map movement to a value signal that modulates the prominence, accessibility, or priority of UI components and feedback. For example, increased movement or activity can elevate the visibility of progress indicators or unlock options, while long periods of stillness may reduce attention to nonessential controls.

Potential applications include fitness apps, virtual reality experiences, rehabilitation devices, and interactive art installations, where movement-based valuation can personalize experiences and guide user behavior.

Critics point to privacy and consent concerns around collecting motion data, as well as the risk of bias against users with limited mobility or differing movement patterns. There is also a concern that over-personalization may distract from tasks or undermine accessibility.

Related concepts encompass gamification, motion tracking, adaptive interfaces, and affective computing.
