Abstract:

Nowadays, a multitude of states and behaviors could be self-reported using Personal Informatics systems but some of them, cannot be automatically gathered. Moreover this activity can be very awkward and complex and users can often fail in reporting their data due to forgetfulness, lack of time or motivation. To overcome these issues, and to collect self-reported data related to mood and emotions we propose to use Tangible User Interface.
