The application of wearable sensor technologies offers new insights in emotional states and resulting behaviors of event attendees. The here presented monitoring of emotion and motion shows continuously, when and where negative feelings of stress are experienced. Additional context data enable a more definite stimuli and behavior identification. The gathered information can help event planners to make events more safe and secure. Further, new perspectives on behavior in crowds are given. We conducted a mixed-method approach, consisting of real-time stress monitoring, movement pattern analyses, spatial analyses, and classical empirical methods at two different events with selected study participants (n = 25). We discuss the benefits, deficits, and limitations of the methodical approach regarding the identification of resulting individual and crowd behavior. We also show the implications of utilizing stress and motion monitoring at dynamic movements in public space, like political demonstration marches. |
