A System for Shepherding User into His/her Interests by Continuous Pictures Presentation

Abstract

Recently, the environment that user can always see the information is becoming realistic by the development of the wearable computing, and researchers have proposed various methods, which present information appropriately according to a situation after recognizing the user's action or the state. However, in the environment, since the user does not always need the particular information, free time arises on the device for presenting information and the user can see the information that does not have a specific meaning at this time. Therefore, in this research, we propose the system that unconsciously leads the user to the specific information by presenting the visual information that is related to user's interest. Our system utilizes the concept of priming effect, which means the user is affected by the contents presented on the system. Evaluation results confirmed that the related information affects user getting the information. Moreover, we implemented a prototype of the system that presents information related to user's interest.
