SqueezeDiary: using squeeze gesture as triggers of diary events

Abstract

The diary method has been adopted for recording participants' behaviours. However, recording diary entries can be difficult or deemed inappropriate in certain situations, like in a social group or in a meeting. In this demo we present SqueezeDiary, a tool that adopts squeeze gestures for users to denote triggers of diary events, and the users reflect on the triggers later when they are not busy (e.g. during lunch). Our application enables delayed reflection, where users can reflect on their recorded event instances retrospectively during their downtime.
