thank you for the interesting input. it seems it works in english. Do the same metaphors work for other languages...? I will launch a user feedback process.
thank you for your comments. we have no limit in the language support. Currently, we support English, French, Portuguese and Japanese. Swedish and any other language are welcome.
don't you know any visual metaphor set from which we could use image or icon ?
I'm chiming in a little late - I was wondering if you had made any progress with your research regarding mood state metaphors?
I am currently looking for design insights/metaphors to visually display emotional stress/mood states. I am planning to consult the end users, but I think it might be good to present some examples to get the ball rolling. I was thinking about concepts like weather, traffic lights, etc. I can't help but think this must be a thoroughly explored field, though I seem to have trouble finding relevant work.
Good to see the interest in this. We have a recently started a collaborative project in UK looking at visualisation of well-being: https://www.researchgate.net/project/Dynamic-Wellbeing
