Abstract
In this paper we examine the use of a robot's face as an interface for affective visualisation design, a concept that we name Face- Vis. We conducted a design workshop with 9 experts to explore metaphorical ideas on how to leverage a robot's physicality, appearance and agency to convey data and communicate emotion. We present insights on potential challenges, benefits and pitfalls when using a robot's face to visualise data. Our results show that this approach has the potential to enhance user engagement, support self-reflection and elicit empathic concern. We contribute three design considerations and provide future research directions to investigate a robot's face as an interface for visua..
