In the context of my PhD research, I delved into the area of spatial emotion visualization in augmented reality (AR). The goal of this project was to explore the relationship between emotional states and the physical space around us. More specifically, we aimed to understand how spaces can respond to the emotions of those within them, whether spatial changes can trigger specific emotional responses, and if experiencing a space that has been manipulated by another person's emotions could facilitate emotional communication and understanding.

To investigate these questions, we created a HoloLens application that allows users to select different emotional states and modifies the space accordingly and then conducted user studies via this prototype. We published our findings as an extended abstract in the CHI '18 conference and as a poster in the VRST'17 conference.
