    Exploring Emotion physicalization Through Soft Robotics
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Danilishyna, Hanna; Popp, Alisa; Koningsbruggen, Rosa; Hornecker, Eva
    It has become increasingly possible to track and represent our emotions to get better understanding of them. However, whereas our emotions are ephemeral and fluctuate, common representations of emotions look true, permanent, and scientific. To explore how we can represent emotions in a way that is closer to how we feel and experience them, Emotion Bouquet was created. Emotion Bouquet consist of four pneumatic flowers that represent the four emotions of anger, sadness, calmness, and happiness through the shape, color, and movement of each flower. Pneumatics were used to created breathing patterns that replicate the our breathing during the respective emotions. For the color mappings, we relied on existing literature. Emotion Bouquet was deployed during a two-day exhibition. With this work, we aim to show the potential of soft robotic, physical data representations for the representation of emotions.

    SandExplorer: Exploring Geospatial Data, Grain by Grain
    (Mensch und Computer 2019 - Tagungsband, 2019) Kegel, Friedrich; Hemmert, Fabian
    In this paper, we introduce SandExplorer: a device to physically explore geospatial data by creating a 2.5-dimensional, topographic sand sculpture. This sculpture is created semi-manually, by moving a handle over a sandbox, which serves as a plotting canvas. The sandbox' shape represents the geospatial region the data is about. The amount of sand flowing from the system's sand reservoir through the handle is regulated by a mapping algorithm, depending on the underlying data. Using SandExplorer, users can playfully create a sand-based, physical yet malleable representation of the data.
