M22 / Final Master Project / Dec 2025 – Jun 2026

Making Group State Visible

Ambient visualization for awareness in co-located team meetings.

Project Focus

My Final Master Project explores how changing group states in co-located team meetings can be made perceivable through ambient visualization. In meetings, people may shift between shared focus, negotiation, low energy, or uncertainty, but these changes are often difficult to notice while everyone is engaged in the task.

Through Research through Design, I reframed the topic from group mood to group state to avoid reducing the experience to fixed emotional labels.

Outcome

The final prototype combines meeting activity blocks, a meeting timeline, AI-supported visual generation, and silhouette-based group visuals. The aim is not to tell the team what to do, but to create a gentle opportunity to notice and reflect.
