Body Mnemonics

چکیده
Body Mnemonics is an interface design concept for portable devices that uses the body space of the user as an interface. In this system information can be stored and subsequently accessed by moving a device to different locations around one’s body. The system is designed to ease cognitive load by relying on our proprioceptive sense, vibrotactile feedback, and the use of the body image of the user as a mnemonic frame of reference. Feedback from interviews conducted while developing this system suggests that the body view is a very personal artefact and that it is rich in meaning. It therefore has the potential to serve as a powerful memory aid. We are currently integrating an inertial measurement system into a portable device to enable us to conduct studies to validate our approach.

متن کاملMnemonics for endocrinologists - hyperparathyroidism.
Mnemonics are learning techniques that make for greater memorability and help improve long term memory. Commonly encountered mnemonics are usually verbal, such as an acronym, a short poem or mathematical relations for numerical data. Mnemonics may also be visual, kinesthetic or auditory. Mnemonics are based on the observation that the human mind much more easily remembers and retrieves surprisi...
متن کاملTexting and the Efficacy of Mnemonics: An Exploratory Study
The rapidly growing social phenomenon of texting has attracted researchers from diverse disciplines who seek to study its effects. Texting typically involves the use of abbreviations and other shortcuts to craft cell phone messages. Collectively, these abbreviations and shortcuts are referred to as “text speak.” The authors observe that some mnemonics are very similar in form to various types o...
