ClockViz: Designing Public Visualization for Coping with Collective Stress in Teamwork

Abstract

The intervention solutions for coping with collective stress have been neglected in interaction design because of limited scalability of the physiological measuring methods. This paper focuses on exploring visual biofeedback design for collective stress in the context of teamwork. We design ClockViz, an augmented reality installation overlaid with static or dynamic projection to visualize three different extents of collective stress on a clock.Results of a 16-participant study show that ClockViz is useful to provide biofeedback data, change their internal status, and increase their mindfulness. Based on the results, we also discussed the potential solutions to collective stress sensing for designers to apply into their interactive design intervention.

AffectiveWall: Designing Collective Stress-Related Physiological Data Visualization for Reflection

“…Two types of collective stress [69] were introduced in the team: 1) All stressed: aimed at making all the group members feel stressed, and 2) Some stressed: some members stressed while some are not. In the All stressed condition (task 2), both teams did a long list of two-digit multiplications (e.g., 79 × 94 =?).…”
