“…[20]. In a study of explicit audience reporting on dance, Stevens et al used a system which allowed specification of a one-dimensional parameter on a handheld PDA using a stylus [34]. Their work showed that arousal is correlated with surface features of a dance more than valence.…”

Understanding audience responses to art and performance is a challenge. New sensors are promising for measurement of implicit and explicit audience engagement. However, the meaning of biometric data, and its relationship to engagement, is unclear. We conceptually explore the audience engagement domain to uncover opportunities and challenges in the assessment and interpretation of audience engagement data. We developed a display that linked performance videos with audience biometric data and presented it to 7 performing arts experts, to explore the measurement, interpretation and application of biometric data. Experts were intrigued by the response data and reflective in interpreting it. We deepened our inquiry with an empirical study with 49 participants who watched a video of a dance performance. We related temporal galvanic skin response (GSR) data to two self-report scales, which provided insights on interpreting this measure. Our findings, which include strong correlations, support the interpretation of GSR as a valid representation of audience engagement.

“…Besides surveys, Stevens et al (2009) used a realtime scaling system called "the portable Audience Response Facility" (pARF) to measure audience experience during a performance. There are three drawbacks to this method: First, as with surveys, it is a self-report, which is subjective.…”

Abstract:Accurately measuring the audience response during a performance is a difficult task. This is particularly the case for connected performances. In this paper, we staged a connected performance in which a remote audience enjoyed the performance in real-time. Both objective (galvanic skin response and behaviours) and subjective (interviews) responses from the live and remote audience members were recorded. To capture galvanic skin response, a group of self-built sensors was used to record the electrical conductance of the skin. The results of the measurements showed that both the live and the remote audience members had a similar response to the connected performance even though more vivid artistic artefacts had a stronger effect on the live audience. Some technical issues also influenced the experience of the remote audience. In conclusion we found that the remoteness had little influence on the connected performance.

“…This was important as participants needed to switch their frame of mind into different characters for each scenario. This was measured by a technique developed at the MARCS lab [16]. The PDA (Portable Digital Assistants) based Portable Audio Response Facility (pARF), measured participants feelings of connectedness in real time as they listened to four different audio recordings.…”

“…The resulting time series' containing mean connectedness values were then analyzed. (see [16] for a description on how to interpret pARF data) It was found that the dementia scenario was not connecting to people who had no experience with dementia, and in contrast connected very well to people who did have some experience with dementia (Fig 2(a)). A decision was made to change the script and to use a new script for dementia in phase 2.…”

WITU (Wearable Indoor Tracking Unit) is a wearable robotic device that aids indoor navigation by building maps and localizing the user within them. Applications of such a device include search and rescue, travel aid in large and complex buildings, museum guides among others where external localization information such as from a GPS is not available. However, WITU relies on human intelligence both to maintain long term consistency of its location estimates and to efficiently manage its limited memory and processing capacity. This alludes to a symbiotic relationship between the user and the device and here we look at this symbiotic relationship from an end user perspective. Thus, in order to have a successful interaction, we argue that the user needs to feel comfortable wearing the device while carrying out the intended tasks. We hypothesize that this perceived comfort is dependent on the context in which the device is used. We test our hypothesis on three different scenarios; search and rescue worker, dementia patient in a long care facility and a person at a party which acts as the baseline. Results indicate an important consequence for the development of such wearable robotic systems.
