Bodystorming is a method used by researchers and used a lot in interactive design. This technique is used mostly on the physical performance to generate new ideas. Its similar to brainstorming as in create ideas being more focused towards the users. Its a technique when imagining the product in a certain environment and as to how will people react to it. It will for instance take the bodies of people into consideration and see how they react or what problems occur before launching the final product.

There are three different ways implementing bodystorming. The first way is getting information of the place in which the product will be used by the people. The other way is prototyping where one test its product in a place where it will be used. The other technique is use case theater which involves hiring actors to test the product in a particular place.

This technique can gain a lot of information regarding the product as people are hired in order to see how is the product and most of the times used by designers.
