| Abstract: | Climate change is one of humanity's most pressing challenges, characterized by extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and ecosystem impacts. Addressing these challenges requires innovative solutions and global collaboration. Data physicalization, which uses embodied interaction to convey complex information, is a promising approach for enhancing public understanding. An interactive LED globe was designed to display temperature anomalies from 1980 to 2020 using various output modes and three input modes: slider, discrete knob, and continuous knob. This research investigated how these input modes affected user engagement and comprehension. In tests with 36 participants, the discrete knob was preferred for its haptic feedback and clicking sounds, despite no significant performance differences. The installation successfully engaged users and sparked curiosity, receiving positive feedback. |
