What is Handle with Care??

Handle with Care is an interdisciplinary project between art and artificial intelligence, that aims to visualize the emotional state or conception of comfort of the participants through 3D objects. The project utilizes a survey to collect data from the participants, and then uses the data to generate word embeddings, which is a computer's representation of a word. The word embeddings are then used to generate a 3D object. Different materials and sizes have been experimented with to create a variety of objects.

The source code will be made available after paper review.

Motivation

We wanted to create an object that is unique to an individual, and that can be used as a reminder of the emotional state of the individual. We also aim to analyze demographics and response changes over time to see if there are any trends in the data.
