emotionBox
c o n c e p t
The digital world around us leading to desensitization
Dissolution of expressions and the loss of facial reactions to the physical world around
Losing connection in connected world
c o n c e p t
Facial expressions communicate information about emotions and enhance the verbal patterns of communication
A social phenomenon that individual emotional states are highly affected by other people’s emotional states around.
c o n c e p t
If only they had an Olympic event for facial athletes. (Paul Ekman)
-Text messaging, instant messaging, voice messaging became a part of our lives.-We are using emoticons instead of showing how we feel.
m o ti v a ti o n
Providing a set of emotional stimuli and evoking emotions for experimental investigations of facial expressions and bringing them back
g o a l
Why am I doing this?
Exploring the facial expressions and the emotional reactionsEnhancing the nonverbal communication with others /Investigating a social phenomenon whether emotional reactions are contagious
g o a l
Literature ReviewResearching on UX and Using audio and visual elements as emotional stimuliDiscussing and getting feedback from colleaguesInstalling physical computing elements and building physical constructions

Audio and visualizer to attract people’s attention

Participant interacts with the remote control to choose which experience to go through

Prototype #1
Results
-Feedback on which visuals to use / User survey on favorite funny movies, happy moments, songs, etc..-Too distracting to concentrate on the experience / feedback on building the box

Prototype #2
Digital characters on both edges of the uncanny valley / Cartoon-like digital character vs. Humanized digital characters

Prototype #2
d e s i g n p r o c e s s
Prototype #2
Results
-Using one of the most intense emotion=disgust!-Instead of displaying a streamline, participant should choose the visual (button based interface)-Triggering a curiosity for the installation (what should be before the participant approaches?)-Feedback on projection in a separate space to enhance the surprising affect

Prototype #3
d e s i g n p r o c e s s
Prototype #3
Results
-Sequence of visuals and audio, feedback on the structure of the visuals-Projecting reactions on a bigger screen in a darker open space-Watching other people’s reactions is weird but achieves to evoke emotion-Pushing buttons to change videos is distracting. -Recording other people watching other people’s reactions?-A collage of images of reactions might be exhibited?
p r e c e d e n t s
Final Result
-People experiencing the box and having intense emotions and facial reactions “This is better than watching a movie!”“It is also good for my facial muscles too”
- Curiosity for people watching other people’s faces. “Where is the box???”
-“I felt like people were laughing at ME!”
- “It was very weird to watch 10 people smiling. But I wish they were following me wherever I go.”

Next?
Carrying this experiment into an online platform and giving a facial expression exercise sessions.
Thank you!
