The Persuasive Mirror: computerized persuasion for healthy living
نویسنده
چکیده
Ubiquitous sensors continuously gather information about our behavior. However, resulting data are generally used by a third party. Yet, the monitored person could take advantage of them in their daily life. In this article we propose a device that makes use of behavioral data in order to provide its user with continuous visual feedback on their behavior in a natural and least intrusive manner. The main goal of this project is to evaluate if such computerized persuasion can help people reach their personal goals, for example leading a healthier lifestyle like regular exercise or quitting smoking. The Persuasive Mirror aims at helping people by “using one’s reflection to improve lifestyle”.
