A Wearable Emotion Display Device for Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration
摘要
Cross-disciplinary collaboration often faces communication barriers due to differing professional languages and thinking patterns. This study presents ’Emotion Display Wings’, a wearable smart vest that visualizes the emotional states of users in real time using heart rate variability (HRV) as its main input. The device provides intuitive and nonverbal feedback through wing movements, enabling team members to perceive and respond to each other’s emotions more effectively. Developed through a design thinking approach, the system integrates UX principles and an agile development process to support rapid prototyping and iteration. It helps facilitators identify team issues and improves emotional transparency in collaboration. The results highlight its potential to foster empathy, trust, and dynamic interaction in interdisciplinary teams in the real world and environments driven by innovation.
