EmotionCarrier: A Multimodality 'Mindfulness-Training' Tool for Positive Emotional Value

Abstract

This study introduced a Multimodal Mindfulness-Training System. Our installation, 'EmotionCarrier', correlates traditional calligraphy interactions with real-time physiological data from an Apple Watch. We aim to enhance mindfulness training effectiveness, aiding in achieving physiological calmness through calligraphy practice. Our experiments with varied participant groups focused on data diversity, usability, and stability. We adopted methods like using EmotionCarrier for Heart Sutra transcription and adjusting installation placement for optimal user experience. Our primary finding was a correlation between calligraphy performance data and emotional responses during the transcription of the Heart Sutra.
