AwareMirror: A Personalized Display Using a Mirror
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a personalized display, “AwareMirror : an augmented mirror”. AwareMirror presents information relevant to a person in front of it by super-imposing his/her image. A toothbrush has been chosen as an identification tool while proximity sensors have been utilized to detect a person’s position (in front of the mirror). Also, three types of information that can affect a user’s decision have been selected. The mirror has been constructed using an acrylic magic mirror board and ordinal computer monitor. The acrylic board has been attached in front of the monitor, and only bright color from the display can penetrate the board. As a result of preliminary evaluation, we found that the mirror is useful to offer information in an unobtrusive manner while preserving its metaphor.

An Experience with Augmenting a Mirror as a Personal Ambient Display
In this paper, we describe a case study on augmenting a daily object, mirror, for a personalized ambient display. The mirror displays information relevant to a person in front of it on the periphery of his/her sights. The interaction methods with the mirror were evaluated by a Wizard-of-Oz method and an in-situ experiment. The subjects preferred more controllability over the proactive functiona...
متن کاملMicrosoft Word - AsynchronousReflections-Final-Wei-mchu_bo.docx
Abstract -In this paper, we present a theoretical framing of the functions of a mirror by breaking the synchrony between the state of a reference object and its reflection. This framing provides a new conceptualization of the uses of reflections for various applications. We describe the fundamental technical components of such systems and illustrate the technical challenges in two different f...

متن کاملMR-Mirror: A Complex of Real and Virtual Mirrors
MR-mirror is a novel Mixed-Reality (MR) display system created by using real and virtual mirrors. It merges real visual information reflected on a real mirror and a virtual one displayed on an electronic monitor. A user’s body is presented by the reflection on the real mirror, and virtual objects are presented on a monitor that is visible through the real mirror. Users can observe an MR scene w...
متن کاملSee-through Window vs. Magic Mirror
There are two alternative display metaphors for Augmented Reality (AR) screens: a see-through window or a magic mirror. Commonly used by task-support AR applications, the see-through display has not been compared with the mirror display in terms of user’s task performance, even though the “mirror” hardware is more accessible to general users. We conducted a novel experiment to compare participa...
