JogChalking
Nabil Bin Hannan, Felwah Alqahtani, Derek F. Reilly · 2016
We present JogChalker, a system that allows recreational runners to capture their affective experience while running using touch gestures. Using a small set of simple gestures, a runner can record affect while running without looking at a screen or entering into a multi-step interaction. Gestures are recognized, but also recorded at high fidelity, as we believe how the gesture is made may itself be expressive and useful for runners to review. We present our initial prototype, describe the goals, structure, and outcomes of a four-week participatory design session, and discuss the consequent capture and visualization implications for JogChalker that we are currently exploring.
