Bio Mapping: Annotating The Environment With Emotional Data

A recent post on MetaFilter, via The Map Room, highlights the Bio Mapping tool, yet another example of the increasingly central role of affect in theoretical and applied investigations of everyday life.

The Bio Mapping tool: “allows the wearer to record their Galvanic Skin Response, which is a simple indicator of emotional arousal, in conjunction with their geographical location. By sharing this data we can construct maps that visualise where we as a community feel stressed and excited.”
