A Multi-Modal Interactive Experience to Support Psychological Capital Through Stress Breaking
​​This project presents an interactive experience to promote individuals self-beliefs and increase self-efficacy for stress management. Specifically, we designed four interactive stages to provide an interactive experience that reflects upon one’s psychological capital, simultaneously encouraging the public to build a more confident mental state towards stress management. With this work, we embrace the concept of using technology for good, building upon the potential support technology and interactive media can provide in assisting contemporary society for a healthier future.
Stress management is increasingly gathering public attention in contemporary societies. Empowering individuals to build more self-confidence to fight stressful conditions can have an enormous impact on their psychological wellbeing. This interactive experience builds upon the concept that psychological capital (PsyCap) and, more specifically, self-efficacy, are essential factors for coping with stress and increase individ uals’ self-belief.
​
By utilizing bio-data detection and process- ing, together with a motion capture system, stress levels are vi- sualized in real-time through Electroencephalography (EEG), while a following interaction process can trigger individuals’ response to it. Through this work, we aim to raise aware- ness and motivate the public regarding the importance of self- efficacyand self-belief for stress management.

The project BROKEN has been honored with the prestigious Rising Star Award at Chinese CHI 2024, recognizing its innovative approach to stress management and public wellbeing.

Stress levels can cause tangible and intangible damages if not appropriately addressed. An enormous potential relies on stress sharingthrough human relationships.This installation builds upon theconcept that two negatives give one positive, metaphorically addressing the need to enhance human interactions to reduce stress levels.
This installation builds upon theconcept that two negatives give one positive, metaphorically addressing the need to enhance human interactions to reduce stress levels. By applying a semi-controlled data processing system, we visualize individuals’ stress projected on an interactive stage throughreal-time Electroencephalography (EEG). Once stress is shared, thedata will slowly vanish from the stage. Through this installation,we aim to spread stress awareness and the relevance of humanrelationships for stress reduction.

This paper explores the potential of technology interventions within LTC facilities. We selected a facility in Shenzhen, China, as a case study. We explored the possibility of technology integration in LTC settings with three older adults and five caregivers through focus group interviews, shadowing, and field observations. Through data visualization, we identified its potential from both spatial and social perspectives. Our findings provide promising directions for technology-mediated interventions that can enhance the psychological well-being of elderly residents in LTC facilities while supporting a wider range of stakeholders.
