“…This personal emotion data could come from a QS-system as proposed by Matassa and Rapp, who prototyped and tested a QS-system for cyclists which aims to enhance an individual's remembering process by connecting personal experiences with the places in which they took place. It in situ alerts a cyclist of the of the cyclist's personal emotional connection with a place, acting as a memory trigger and a cue for reminiscing (Matassa and Rapp 2015).…”

“…Inspired by Nold's work on emotional cartography (Nold 2009) and the rise of the Quantified-Self movement (Li et al 2013), there currently is an increased interest in exploring how mobile, wearable and Quantified-Self technology could potentially be used to capture and collect people's emotional experiences of urban places (Rooksby et al 2014;Matassa 2013;Resch et al 2015;Stals, Smyth, and Mival 2017b;Quercia, Schifanella, and Aiello 2014) and the potential for sharing this personal data with other people using emotion maps (Al-Husain, Kanjo, and Chamberlain 2013; Leahu, Schwenk, and Sengers 2008;Matassa and Rapp 2015;Mody, Willis, and Kerstein 2009;Nold 2004;Nold 2009). Based on social science studies of the concept of place attachment (Manzo 2005;Gustafson 2001; Scannell and Gifford 2010) and these urban HCI studies attempting to leverage people's emotional experience of the urban environment, we argue that places that are meaningful to people on a personal level, could provide a suitable lens for further investigation, as these personally meaningful places are typically the places that a person has a strong emotional bond with (Stals, Smyth, and Mival 2017a).…”

“…More recently, emotion maps have been used to visualize stress hotspots in supermarkets (El Mawass and Kanjo 2013), people's feelings in places affected by environmental factors like air pollution, noise and green space (MacKerron and Mourato 2012), people's emotional feelings of different typologies of a places (e.g. restaurants, museums, stores) (Mody, Willis, and Kerstein 2009) and feelings in a place based on personal memories that happened in that place (Matassa and Rapp 2015). From a research perspective, this makes sense.…”

“…getting tired or walking uphill) rather than a participant's personal relationship with a place (Westerink et al 2008;Resch et al 2015). Nold attempts to mitigate this problem by allowing each participant to annotate their own arousal map, thus combining quantitative data with subjective data, which has become a common approach to deal with these limitations (Resch et al 2015;Leahu, Schwenk, and Sengers 2008;Matassa and Rapp 2015). However, the text that can be added afterwards (Nold 2009) or in-situ using an app (Matassa and Rapp 2015;Zeile et al 2015) is often limited and might not be able to sufficiently reflect the experience or relationship a person has with a personally significant place.…”

For example, in the detailed figure of the San Francisco emotion map the annotation "Reminiscing" gives some indication of why the arousal level is elevated, but is still insufficient for obtaining a better insight in the participant's personal relationship with the place where perhaps an event has occurred in the past, or it could be the case, for example, that the participant is simply reminiscing about the day at the office while walking home from work.…”

With the vision of ubiquitous computing becoming increasingly realized through smart city solutions, the proliferation of smartphones and smartwatches, and the rise of the quantified-self movement, a new technological layer is being added to the urban environment. This technological layer offers the possibility to capture, track, measure, visualize, and augment our experience of the urban environment. But to that end, there is a growing need to better understand the triangular relationship between person, place, and technology. Urban HCI studies are increasingly focusing on emotion and affect to create a better understanding of people’s experience of the city, and to investigate how technology could potentially play a role in augmenting this urban lived experience. Artist Christian Nold for example, used wearable technology to measure people's arousal levels as they walked freely through the urban environment, identifying locations in the city that evoked an emotional response from people. After these walks, people’s arousal levels were superimposed on a map of the city and participants were asked to interpret their own data, resulting in aggregated, fully annotated, and beautifully visualized emotion maps of the city. Based on a systematic review of emotions maps in existing literature, and our own work which seeks to understand how people’s experiences of places in the urban environment that are meaningful to them on a personal level, for example the place where they have met their partner, could potentially inform the design of future technological devices and services, this journal paper discusses the strengths, limitations and potential of capturing, representing, exploring and sharing this personal, geo-located emotion data with other people using emotion maps. Although our analysis seems to indicate that emotion maps in their current form are only of limited efficacy in accurately capturing, representing and communicating the profound, complex emotional bond that people have with personally meaningful places in the city, there appears to be potential for the use of emotion maps as a provocation in a speculative design approach.
