Abstract

Uncomfortable silences can disrupt meetings and conferences. One of the reasons for these silences may be that participants are unable to share their intentions at the meeting, which makes it difficult to decide whether discussions should move on or go into greater depth. This study proposes a method for visualizing feelings and conveying them to participants in a meeting. Our design Glow-mind involves button systems in web browsers which can share feelings anonymously. This paper introduces the system requirements, tests the system, and sets out the results. To facilitate real-life meetings, we also consider a new user interface in which the size of each button is determined by the number of times it is pressed.
