This paper proposes a set of actions on stylized face glyphs that are compatible with psychological evidence embodied in the facial action coding system [EFH02]. It shows how this set can be employed for distinguishing emotion expressions from other facial expressions, and derives an emotion-based glyph space to exploit the pre-attentive processing of emotion expressions. Finally, we report the results of an empirical user study comparing Chernoff-like glyphs with our emotion glyphs in a typical visualization task.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Human-centered computing --> Information visualization; Empirical studies in visualizationHuman centered computingInformation visualizationEmpirical studies in visualization10.2312/evs.2022108719-235 pages
