AN INTERFACE TO ELICIT AND EXPRESS PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES: FOR VISITS TO PLACES

A model and language for an interface to elicit and express knowledge related to a person's experience is considered. In this method, an experience is considered as a combination of an activity and resulting emotion, in which emotion can be described as a set of individual impressions regarding constituting events and objects. To support users in expressing emotions, a set of multi-view symbols based on a predefined classification of objects and events are provided. While experience is a wide concept, in particular, this paper focuses on visits to places. This method supports and encourages users to recollect, analyze, and build understanding of one's own experience using a standard expression. Users are able to compare own experience with others and reuse them for one's future activities. In this paper, the developed classification and symbols as well as user interfaces to express and browse experiences is presented.
