The pith

HeartSway turns heart rate and micro-movements into embodied traces that connect successive users in public spaces.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper presents HeartSway, an interactive hammock designed to capture a user's heart rate and subtle movements and replay them as physical sensations for the next person who uses it. Through a field study with ten participants, the authors show that this creates feelings of connection to previous users and appreciation for shared human experiences. The work explores biodata as a material for creating poetic, anonymous traces in urban environments. It contributes design considerations for intimate encounters between strangers via public amenities.

Core claim

HeartSway demonstrates that biodata can serve as evocative traces in public space by capturing and replaying heart rate and micro-movements in an interactive hammock, leading to users feeling connected to prior visitors and valuing the shared vitality of human bodies.

What carries the argument

HeartSway, an interactive hammock that senses heart rate via pulse oximeter and micro-movements via accelerometers, then replays them through gentle swinging and lighting effects for subsequent users.

Load-bearing premise

That feelings of connection reported by ten participants after using the hammock in one location will hold for wider public use and reliably show biodata's effectiveness as poetic traces.

What would settle it

A larger study with diverse users in multiple public locations finding no increase in reported connection or curiosity compared to a non-biodata hammock.

read the original abstract

Human traces scattered across urban landscapes can signify our everyday lives and societal vibrancy in subtle and poetic forms. In this paper, we explore how designed technology can engage biodata as evocative traces. To this end, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of HeartSway, an interactive hammock that captures a user's heart rate and micro-movements as traces and replays them as an embodied experience for the next visitor. Through a qualitative field study (N=10), we find that HeartSway evokes feelings of connection, curiosity about prior users, and appreciation for shared human vitality. Our work contributes to understanding anonymous archival biodata as a design material for experiential urban traces. We offer design considerations for intimate asynchronous encounters between strangers in public spaces and for reimagining public amenities.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper presents HeartSway, an interactive hammock that captures a user's heart rate and micro-movements as biodata traces and replays them as an embodied experience for the next visitor. Through a qualitative field study (N=10), it reports that the system evokes feelings of connection, curiosity about prior users, and appreciation for shared human vitality. The work contributes design considerations for anonymous archival biodata as a material for experiential urban traces and for intimate asynchronous encounters between strangers in public spaces.

Significance. If the reported participant experiences hold under improved methodological transparency, the paper offers a meaningful contribution to HCI by treating biodata as a poetic design material for public installations. The real-world field deployment and focus on anonymous, asynchronous stranger interactions provide grounded insights that extend beyond lab studies. The work is strengthened by its emphasis on design considerations derived from observed encounters rather than unsubstantiated efficacy claims.

major comments (2)
  1. [Evaluation / Field Study] Evaluation section: the qualitative field study description provides no details on participant recruitment, the specific analysis method (e.g., thematic analysis steps or coding process), or explicit limitations of the N=10 sample. This omission is load-bearing because the central claim rests on the reported feelings of connection and curiosity, making it difficult to assess robustness or transferability.
  2. [Discussion] Discussion section: the mapping from specific participant observations to the proposed design considerations for biodata traces and public amenities is not explicitly articulated, weakening the link between findings and contributions.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Abstract] Abstract: the mention of 'implementation' lacks any high-level technical description of sensor placement, data replay mechanism, or privacy handling, which would help readers understand the artifact before the evaluation.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions throughout: several could be expanded to describe the embodied interaction sequence more clearly, aiding readers who cannot view the images.

Simulated Author's Rebuttal

2 responses · 0 unresolved

We thank the referee for the constructive and detailed review. The comments highlight important opportunities to strengthen the paper's methodological transparency and the explicit linkage between empirical observations and design contributions. We will revise the manuscript to address both points fully.

  1. Referee: [Evaluation / Field Study] Evaluation section: the qualitative field study description provides no details on participant recruitment, the specific analysis method (e.g., thematic analysis steps or coding process), or explicit limitations of the N=10 sample. This omission is load-bearing because the central claim rests on the reported feelings of connection and curiosity, making it difficult to assess robustness or transferability.

    Authors: We agree that the Evaluation section requires greater detail to support assessment of the findings. In the revised manuscript, we will expand this section to describe: participant recruitment (public-space approach, consent process, and any available demographics); the thematic analysis procedure (including data familiarization, initial coding, theme generation, review, and refinement steps); and explicit limitations of the N=10 sample (self-selection bias, context-specificity, and constraints on generalizability). These additions will directly address the robustness and transferability concerns. revision: yes

  2. Referee: [Discussion] Discussion section: the mapping from specific participant observations to the proposed design considerations for biodata traces and public amenities is not explicitly articulated, weakening the link between findings and contributions.

    Authors: We acknowledge that the connections between observations and design considerations could be stated more explicitly. In the revision, we will add a dedicated subsection in the Discussion that systematically maps specific participant quotes and observed behaviors (e.g., expressions of curiosity about prior users' vitality) to each design consideration. This will make the derivation of contributions from the field-study data transparent and strengthen the overall argument. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity

full rationale

This is a design exploration and qualitative HCI paper whose central claims rest on direct reporting of participant experiences from a scoped field study (N=10). There are no equations, models, fitted parameters, predictions, or derivation chains that reduce to self-defined inputs or self-citations. The findings are presented as observations from the study rather than generalized efficacy claims, making the argument self-contained and non-circular by construction.
