Abstract:
Ambient displays are effective for behavior change; however, their prolonged use may cause users to lose interest in the content and fail to change to desirable behavior. We investigate two methods of presentation customization to address loss of interest caused primarily by habituation to the system: 1) incremental and ad hoc customization and 2) initial and goal customization. These methods were incorporated into a prototype system designed to avoid a sedentary lifestyle at home. A 36-day user study revealed that effective methods varied depending on users' motivation for using the system. Issues related to customization and user feedback and directions to improve the loss of interest caused by distrust of the system were identified.
