Abstract(s)
A importância e o impacto dos Medias são amplamente reconhecidos como grande influenciadores do estado emocional e espiritual, podendo afetar a vida de uma pessoa, a forma de pensar, o comportamento, o bem-estar e a saúde. Outra maneira de influenciar estes estados é através da Meditação, uma prática que descreve um estado de consciência em que a mente está livre de pensamentos e que tem vindo a ser desenvolvido e utilizado em diversas culturas como objectivo de promover a autoconsciência e a transformação pessoal, podendo os Media contribuir para o suporte desta prática. Um dos desafios atuais continua a ser a modelação eficaz do estado meditativo associado a Media através da utilização de sensores para avaliar em tempo real as respostas fisiológicas enquanto se assiste ao conteúdos Media, e em particular a vídeos. O vídeo é um meio muito rico que fornece grandes quantidades de informação, tendo um grande potencial em induzir estados emocionais, físicos e psicológicos, podendo ser um bom suporte para a aprendizagem e prática meditativa. O nosso projecto teve como objectivo a concepção, e o desenvolvimento na aplicação¸ Media4WellBeing do suporte personalizado ao acesso, exploração, de vídeos, com base no seu impacto no estado meditativo do utilizador, aferido através de um sensor fisiológico. As funcionalidades desenvolvidas permitem a procura e visualização de vídeos e do estado de meditação, em tempo real; recolha de vídeos os e de auto-relatos num jornal pessoal; e análise da evolução ao longo do tempo, com o intuito de aumentar a consciência do utilizador para estas dimensões fisiológicas inerentes à prática meditativa, de modo a que este possa ter uma melhor perceção, e uma forma de regular o seu bem-estar, contribuindo para o seu desenvolvimento pessoal. A avaliação realizada com utilizadores teve resultados muito encorajadores sendo uma mais valia para trabalhos futuros.
The importance and impact of Media are widely recognized as major influencers on a spiritual and emotional level, and can affect our life, way to of thinking, behavior, wellbeing and health. Another way to influence these states is through Meditation, a practice that describes a state of consciousness in which the mind is free from thought s and has been developed and used in various cultures with the aim of promoting self-awareness and transformation, being able to contribute as a support of this practice.One of the current challenges continues to be the effective modeling of the meditative state associated with Media through the use of sensors to evaluate in real time the physio-logical responses while watching Media content, videos in particular. Video is a very rich medium that provides large amounts of information, having great potential in inducing emotional, physical and psychological states, and can be a good support for learning and meditative practice.Our project aimed at designing and developing the Media4WellBeing application of customized support for access, video exploration, based on its impact on the user’s meditative state, measured through a physiological sensor. The functionalities developed allow the search and visualization of videos and the state of meditation in real time; video collection and self-reporting in a personal journal; and analysis of evolution overtime, in order to increase the user’s awareness of these physiological dimensions inherent in his meditative practice, so that he can have a better perception and a way to regulate his well-being, contributing to his personal development. The evaluation performed with users had very encouraging results and was an asset for future work.
