Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a novel idea of crafting a physical object in tandem with the physical exercise using the heart rate patterns. Our aim is provide a new way of visualizing the exercise intensity. We present Sweat-Atoms, a 3D modeling and printing system, which generates abstract 3D designs using the heart rate patterns of individuals engaged in a physical activity. The crafted physical objects can act as souvenirs and be testimony to the human efforts invested in performing the physical activity. We believe the creative experience of crafting will help to change the monotonous nature of physical exercise.
