U ok?: Txt me the Colour of ur Mood!

Published: 07 May 2016 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes a low-tech exploration of a mobile phone and wall display installation intended for use by teenagers to share moods and feelings using colours sent over a social installation. The exploration was with 22 teenagers who 'played' the installation using low-tech propos and then answered questions. The study found that the hidden meanings of the conveyed colours was one of the most attractive aspects for the proposed design and the wall display one of the least attractive items. The paper concludes with design pointers for the installation.
