本文提出一个3D字形实体化工具包，以伦敦河流健康数据为案例，通过回收材料制作实体化作品，促进公众参与、认知反思和环境意识提升。
AI 中文摘要
引言：在本文中，我们展示了一个用于制作字形实体化以促进公众参与的工具包的初步设计。我们以伦敦河流健康数据作为案例研究：这一数据集对与气候变化相关的城市问题具有重要意义，并且作为大伦敦政府战略的一部分，有助于吸引公众关注。设计：我们介绍了3D字形制作工具包的组成部分、其编码方式，以及使用回收材料制作河流水质实体化的分步流程。我们探讨了用户如何利用该模板来了解数据集，同时反思数据对个人经历的意义，并将自身映射到实体化作品上。反思：我们反思了将字形设计空间扩展到3D实体化所带来的机遇，这些机遇有助于支持公众参与复杂多维数据集、搭建认知过程支架以及促进自我反思，从而将关键的环境数据生动呈现。结论：未来3D字形模板的实施将使各种能力的公众都能探索河流健康数据、将复杂性实体化并认识到其相关性。我们希望其在公众参与工作坊中的使用能够提高意识、唤起关怀并培养归属感。
英文摘要
Introduction: In this paper, we present the preliminary design of a toolkit for making glyph-based physicalizations for public engagement. We use London river health data as a case study: a data set of significance to urban issues related to climate change and of interest to draw public attention, as part of the Greater London Authority's strategies. Design: We present the components of a 3D glyph-making toolkit, its encodings, and a step-by-step process for crafting a physicalization of a river's water quality using recycled materials. We reason about how users can use the template to learn about a data set while reflecting on the data's significance to their personal experience and self-mapping onto the physicalization. Reflection: We reflect on the opportunities that extending the design space of glyphs to 3D physicalization offers for supporting public engagement with complex, multi-dimensional data sets, scaffolding cognitive processes, and self-reflection, thereby bringing crucial environmental data to life. Conclusion: Future implementation of the 3D glyph template will enable the public of all abilities to explore river health data, physicalize complexity, and realize its relevance. We hope that its use in public engagement workshops will help raise awareness, invite care, and foster a sense of belonging.
