| Abstract: | Running is a popular physical activity that benefits from technology. Advances in running technologies, such as GPS and heart rate monitors have enabled runners to collect running parameters. These parameters provide runners with insights to self-reflect on their performance or technique. There are various levels of self-reflection, with transformative reflection being one of them. Achieving a level of transformative reflection level engages runners in a thought process to make adjustments in future efforts. Additionally, video technology combined with running parameters can help runners reflect on their techniques. Observing one-self in a video and visualizing running parameters have shown benefits in supporting self-reflection, but there is an under-explored area of combining the two elements to promote runner’s transformative self-reflection. This report explains the process of designing a dashboard where abstract visuals are combined with drone video to promote transformative self-reflection for runners. To achieve this, three studies were conducted: (1) survey, (2) design sessions, and (3) user evaluation. The survey identified cadence, trunk lean, and pelvic drop as the most relevant running technique parameters, with abstract visuals being the preferred imagery for reflecting on the running experience. These insights were used in design sessions, where runners created sketches of the running parameter visualizations incorporating basic elements (colors and shapes) and interactive elements (color-changing and shapeshifting). Subsequently, a dashboard featuring drone video and abstract visuals was developed using the MoveNet Lightning model for human pose estimation to augment the visualizations. The final user evaluation using TSRI demonstrated the dashboard's capabilities in promoting transformative reflection, providing runners with valuable insights and a more enjoyable self-reflection experience. |
