Fishualization: a group feedback display

In this contribution 1 we present a novel psychological intervention that maps human computer activity to a group feedback device on the basis of a combination of various types of unobtrusive, low-level sensors. The goal is to enable employees to gain insights into their working habits, to reduce stress levels and increase productivity. The unique approach taken is a social feedback board (fishualization), which gives collective feedback to employees of an entire department to stimulate social interactions, group awareness and openness, which are all beneficial for well-being at work. Fishualization is set up with a reconfigurable and modular approach to visualization and reasoning components to allow future additions and improvements.
