Abstract

This paper is designed to identify potential stressors as well as negative and positive environmental stimulators in urban landscapes, using wearable physiological sensors and GPS devices. An 8-channeled Procomp Infiniti device was used in this study, recording electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), skin conductance, skin temperature, electromyography (EMG) of facial muscles expression and respiration, with a maximum sample rate at 1024/s. Probands in the pilot experiment were asked to take a 15-minute walk on a designated route for three times. Physiological measures were first filtered and then combined with GPS locations and visual eyesights. Affective mapping analysis based on the collected data allows first conclusions on the responsiveness of probands towards different visual experiences. Further analyses will determine the impacts of urban environments on stressors and what role latest technological advancements in smart landscape design in form of augmented reality can play for improved well-being of city dwellers.
