Abstract: Data physicalizations are becoming increasingly popular as a means of connecting people to abstract data. They may help integrate the flood of information collected by modern technology into our everyday lives. In this paper, we describe the design process for a software framework facilitating the physicalization of a stream of live data as well as the prototype of a dynamic shape and color-changing data physicalization for said data. We simulated elderly patients sharing their data using a recorded dataset to show the capabilities of the software framework and physicalization. The proposed concept provides a new method for communicating data in remote monitoring scenarios and relies on paper for moving components. It is also capable of showcasing data for other use cases with minimal adaptations, further expanding the possibilities for data physicalization.
