Physical engagement with data necessarily influences the reflective process. However, the role of interactivity and narration are often overlooked when designing and analyzing personal data physicalizations. We introduce Narrative Physicalizations, everyday objects modified to support nuanced self-reflection through embodied engagement with personal data. Narrative physicalizations borrow from narrative visualizations, storytelling with graphs, and engagement with mundane artifacts from data-objects. Our research uses a participatory approach to research-through-design and includes two interdependent studies. In the first, personalized data physicalizations are developed for three individuals. In the second, we conduct a parallel autobiographical exploration of what constitutes personal data when using a Fitbit. Our work expands the landscape of data physicalization by introducing narrative physicalizations. It suggests an experience-centric view on data physicalization where people engage physically with their data in playful ways, making their body an active agent during the reflective process.

叙事实体化：支持与个人数据的互动参与

与数据的身体接触必然会影响反思过程。然而，在设计和分析个人数据物理化时，交互性和叙述性的作用往往被忽视。我们介绍了叙事物理化，通过对个人数据的具体参与，对日常物品进行修改以支持细微的自我反思。叙事物理化借鉴了叙事可视化、用图表讲故事以及与来自数据对象的平凡人工制品的接触。我们的研究采用参与式方法进行设计研究，包括两项相互依赖的研究。首先，为三个人开发了个性化的数据物理化。在第二部分，我们对使用 Fitbit 时个人数据的构成进行了平行自传式探索。我们的工作通过引入叙事物理化来扩展数据物理化的领域。它提出了一种以体验为中心的数据物理化观点，人们以有趣的方式与他们的数据进行身体接触，使他们的身体在反思过程中成为积极的代理人。
