david agnelii, a student of the Ivrea Interaction Design institute, works on the relationships between the use of mobile communication devices and proxemics. His claim is that " Mobile and handheld devices, in conjunction with contextualized and personalized digital information could generate a layer of digital space connected to the physical space of the body, the architectural space, and the territory of the city"

He wants to use proxemics studies to explore, understand and map some of the relationships between humans and mobile communication devices.
