Further insight into the bodily aspects of technological experience can be found in her article about the body, movement and immersion in virtual reality, which is published in Refactory a journal of entertainment media, as part of a special volume about virtual reality: https://refractory-journal.com/vol30/.
The use of bodily metaphors to refer to sensory engagement with digital technologies is also discussed in more detail in her forthcoming book: Digital Reality and The Body in Contemporary Culture, which will be published by Continuum in 2019.
