ABSTRACT
Research on physical representations of data has often used personal data as its focus. Core aim of making personal data physical is to provoke self-reflections through a felt experience. In this paper, we present a preliminary study which employs the idea of gift-giving as a means to explore one's online data. Our main findings report strategies of relating to the data of strangers as well as a conflict between what one thought of their online self and what others were able to find. We discuss how the gifts became platforms for self-reflection, similar to physical data models. Then, we connect that to the engagement of a third person (gift-giver) in the process, highlighting the potential of such involvement. In the future, we focus on how to link people's meaningful artifacts with their personal data.

An Interview Method for Engaging Personal Data
Whether investigating research questions or designing systems, many researchers and designers need to engage users with their personal data. However, it is difficult to successfully design user-facing tools for interacting with personal data without ...
Self-Reflection and Personal Physicalization Construction
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSelf-reflection is a central goal of personal informatics systems, and constructing visualizations from physical tokens has been found to help people reflect on data. However, so far, constructive physicalization has only been studied in lab ...
A Study of Exploration of Heterogeneous Personal Data Collected from Mobile Devices and Web Services
MUE '11: Proceedings of the 2011 Fifth FTRA International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous EngineeringThis paper presents a study on the exploration of heterogeneous personal data that are collected from daily life. Most life log research has focused on the capture of personal logs and personal data archives. Although large amounts of personal data can ...
