+This document is intended to be useful for anybody who wants to design, implement, or evaluate interactive systems, in particular with haptics.
+Therefore, it rather covers the basics of many notions I consider as important rather than focus on particular points.
+Indeed, each of this notions is extensively studied in the literature.
+The interested reader will find entry points to this literature in this document.

+This chapter starts with studies that failed at improving interaction substantially because they followed the vision of the two first chapters.
+Then I discuss the connections between computing and the sensorimotor loop through models of human behavior, system architectures, and interaction paradigms.
+I propose an interpretation of these models that describe both the software and hardware levels.
+I conclude with tthe description of contributions that leverage the sensorimotor loop for gestural interaction, and the sense of embodiment in immersive virtual reality.
