Body, and Mood

Started the internship today and working on how to represent the mood by some means.
There are some basics (and might be the best way to represent mood?) that has been done.



Currently moods are represented by words, and words are merely a sign which is arbitrary.
But mood is already quite subjective, and arbitrary. That means we represent the arbitrary subject by the arbitrary mean.

I've sent a quite few questionnaire about how to measure your mood, and so far I've got some answers referring UNITS.
(and also ICE CREAMS... for some reasons, interesting indeed!!)

Originally, units come from the dimension of human body and used to be varied by persons, or regions. Then the authorities has started to standerise them.




Could we have the emotional 'metric system'?

Maybe too ambitious? or ending up using the emoticons perhaps?
As long as the units mention the physical quantities, such as length, weights. tempreture, and so on, we might be able to set up the main subject to be measured (length of music? this is also one of the answer).

However, the thing is the measure has to be simple and easy to be understood by every users. In that sense, the combination of words and numbers seem to be a logical consequence. (I know it might be a bit boring though.)

So far I'm pretty much messed up, might go for this 'ice cream' idea, which is gonna be AMAZING!!
