Post-Test Interviews
Icon is not intuitive enough.
The event and emotion icons were not easy to find in the first place, and it was suggested to add text descriptions.
Neutral vocabulary cannot be quantified.
Through data analysis, we can quantify emotions into indices, so that users can better understand their current situation, but neutral terms have different meanings for each person and cannot be expressed in positive or negative terms.
Quantitative data is not important to users.
Many participants mentioned that the data did not mean much to them, what could they do after knowing their mood changes? Further consideration should be given to why such information is important to users, how to make them feel important, and how they would like to use it further.
