Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Mood is influenced by complex factors and involves subjective interpretation, leading to diverse methods of recording it. While existing tools provide customizable features, they often fall short in promoting deep reflection and meaningful engagement. We developed Lino, an interactive system that includes single stroke drawing records created in a mobile app and a desktop frame designed for archiving these drawings and supporting the attachment of optional voice recordings. Through a three-week field study with six participants, we found that participants make meaning in the process of reframing their daily moods into single stroke drawings and continuously refined these recordings through interactions in their everyday spaces. Our findings imply considerations for empowering users through personal interpretation for meaning-making process in data collection and visualization for effective personal informatics system and supporting evolving personal reflective practices.
